This night you can see a large starfall

Tonight will be the peak of the ε-Perseid meteor shower, one of the most stable meteor showers in the Northern Hemisphere. If the skies are clear, up to 100 meteors per hour (ZHR) can be seen, a maximum that does not occur every year, with the usual intensity of less than ten per hour. The last such outbursts occurred in 2008 and 2013, and it is unlikely that a meteor shower of this intensity will happen again in the next few decades. All you have to do is look up and wait a little longer.

What you should know:

• The ε-Perseids last from 5 to 21 September, but 9-10 September are the most intense nights.
• On these days, you can see the stars almost all over the Northern Hemisphere.
• The radiant (the point where meteors "fly out") is in the constellation Perseus, high above the horizon.
• It is best to observe from an open area, remember that the light of large cities interferes with the observation of faint light phenomena, so residents of megacities should go a few kilometres away from the city to observe.
• This year's peak is slightly obscured by the bright Moon, which makes it difficult to observe faint meteors.
