The Perseid meteor shower starts now. Stargazers can watch a spectacular show.

It peaks on August 12, 2026. The peak will brighten night skies across the country.

Canada will have prime seats for the show. Local viewers are well placed to observe the meteors.

Three meteor showers are active right now. Tonight's celestial display features a variety of streaks.

The Perseids and Lyrids shine the brightest. These most vivid streams attract eyes locally.

The Lyrids put on a display in April. April nights offer a soft meteor show.

Batchawana Bay saw them on April 21-22 along with northern lights. Spectators there marveled at the paired display.

Skies in 2026 should be perfect for watching. Clear horizons ensure ideal viewing moments.

No telescope needed. Bare eyes do the job for this spectacle.
