Let’s know more about the Perseid meteor shower and why it is worth witnessing this spectacular phenomenon in Wadi Rum.

Wadi Rum is one of those places on our planet that showcases the grandeur and magnificence of nature. It is humbling to realize how small and insignificant humans are in the natural world and its elements. As the sun sets, the night sky unveils an awe-inspiring and breathtaking sight with countless twinkling stars and solar systems. It showcases the infinity of the natural world that exists beyond our planet. This sight makes it even more evident how small and insignificant we are.

If you gaze at the night sky frequently, you will notice that it is never the same due to various factors such as the size of the moon and the time of the year. However, nature has more to offer, such as the spectacle display of a meteor shower.

General information about meteor showers:

 

A meteor shower is a celestial event in which a number of meteors are observed to radiate, or originate, from one point in the night sky. These meteors are caused by streams of cosmic debris called meteoroids entering Earth’s atmosphere at extremely high speeds on parallel trajectories. Most meteors are smaller than a grain of sand, so almost all of them disintegrate and never hit the Earth’s surface. 

In most years, the most visible meteor shower is the Perseids, which peak on 12 August of each year at over one meteor per minute. NASA has a tool to calculate how many meteors per hour are visible from one’s observing location.

The Perseids are a prolific meteor shower associated with the comet Swift–Tuttle that are usually visible from mid-July to late-August. The meteors are called the Perseids because they appear from the general direction of the constellation Perseus and in more modern times have a radiant bordering on Cassiopeia and Camelopardalis.

The Perseid meteor shower is an annual event that takes place between July and August, with its highest activity between the 11th and 13th of August. In 2023, the shower began on July 17th and end on August 24th. The peak of the meteor shower will occur on the night of the 12th and before dawn on 13 August, during which you may witness up to 100 meteors per hour! It’s worth noting that the moon rises around 3 AM, so the best time to see shooting stars is during the evening and very early morning.
