Perseids Meteor Shower Peak on August 12

environment · 2018-08-12

The Perseids meteor shower will peak on the evening of August 12, 2018. The shower runs from July 17 to August 24, and meteors appear to radiate from the constellation Perseus after midnight.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
