A huge Perseid meteor is being seen over the night sky in Haputale, Sri Lanka, on August 4, 2024. All night, I am setting up my camera on the hotel balcony, and I am able to capture a huge Perseid meteor. The Perseids meteor shower is an annual celestial event that is occurring every August, typically peaking around the 12th to 14th. Originating from the debris of the Swift-Tuttle comet, the Perseids are known for their bright, fast-moving meteors. Observers are often seeing up to 60–100 meteors per hour under dark skies, making it one of the most popular and spectacular meteor showers of the year. The Perseids are also being seen in late July, with the number of visible meteors increasing as the shower is approaching its peak in mid-August.
