The Perseid meteor shower starts now. Stargazers can enjoy a stunning show.

It peaks on August 12, 2026. The peak will illuminate night skies throughout the country.

Canada will have prime seats for the show. Local viewers are well placed to catch the meteors.

Three meteor showers are active right now. Tonight's astronomical display offers a selection of streaks.

The Perseids and Lyrids shine the brightest. These brightest streams draw eyes locally.

The Lyrids put on a display in April. April nights present a gentle meteor show.

Batchawana Bay saw them on April 21-22 along with northern lights. Spectators there marveled at the dual display.

Skies in 2026 should be perfect for watching. Clear horizons ensure ideal viewing moments.

No telescope needed. Bare eyes are enough for this event.
