Perseids Meteor Shower 2026
Every August, Earth passes through a stream of dust and debris left behind by Comet Swift–Tuttle, creating the spectacular Perseids Meteor Shower. As these tiny particles enter our atmosphere at speeds of nearly 59 km/s, they burn up, producing brilliant streaks of light across the night sky.
In 2026, the shower peaks on 12–13 August, coinciding with a New Moon, making this one of the best years to observe the Perseids under exceptionally dark skies. Join Dubai Astronomy Group at Al Khateem Art Hub for an unforgettable night of meteor watching, guided astronomy, telescope observations, and astrophotography opportunities. Weather and sky conditions permitting, attendees may also have the opportunity to observe Comet 10P/Tempel 2 through our telescopes, adding another highlight to an already spectacular evening.
