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

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

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

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

The Perseids and Lyrids shine the brightest. These clearest streams draw eyes locally.

The Lyrids put on a display in April. April nights provide a gentle 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 promise ideal viewing moments.

No telescope needed. Bare eyes suffice for this event.
