Perseid Meteor Shower: How to Observe from Turkey?

The Perseid meteor shower reaches its peak tonight. With the New Moon phase, over 100 meteors can be observed per hour. The celestial spectacle can be seen from Turkey, with the best viewing time from midnight to 04:00-05:00 AM, focusing on the northeastern horizon.No special equipment is needed for observation, but it's recommended to choose a spot away from city lights. Allow your eyes to adjust to the darkness for at least 20-30 minutes before observing. This natural phenomenon occurs as the Earth passes through the debris trail left by the 109P/Swift-Tuttle comet discovered in 1862. Although the meteor shower's intensity will decrease after tonight, it can still be observed for the next two weeks.
