Perseids are one of the most famous meteor swarms in the world. They observed since about 2000 years, and the earliest information on the observations come from the Far East. Their name comes from the constellation Perseus, from which the meteors appear to be at night “fly out”.
The observations of meteors are exceptionally simple. Just find a dark place, lay on the grass, a blanket or a lounger and gaze sweep the greatest expanse of sky. After some time, will see the first “shooting stars”. Most will be seen high above their heads and above the eastern horizon. Usually, their activity is increased in the second half of the night.
