Perseids 2024 — Dark Skies with an approaching first quarter moon

The 2024 Perseids will happen just before a first quarter moon, which means we’ll enjoy a moonset followed by dark skies. In addition to viewing one of the best meteor showers of the year, the Milky Way will be soaring overhead all night, and Saturn and Jupiter will be visible as well.
