After the eclipse: a chance to see the Perseids meteor shower
Following the eclipse, stargazers can enjoy the annual Perseids meteor shower with dozens of shooting stars per hour.
On Wednesday, a solar eclipse will occur, followed by the annual meteor shower of the Perseids. The Perseid swarm reaches its peak this week, meaning that stargazers can see dozens of meteors per hour.
According to HLN's science journalist, Martijn Peters, under good conditions, you can spot up to 55 shooting stars per hour. It's important to be patient, as your eyes need to adjust to the dark before you can see the meteors.
It is advisable to take a moment to look at the sky after the eclipse to enjoy this natural display.
