To be even more specific, look up at the sky between moonset and dawn to see the most meteors of the night.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Perseid meteor shower is caused by the earth passing through the debris the Swift\u2013Tuttle comet leaves behind as it orbits the sun. That debris turns into meteors as it disintegrates when it hits the earth&#8217;s atmosphere and generates lashes of light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the sky is overcast, it may be more difficult to view the meteor shower. If that&#8217;s the case, you can always see it streamed online from Italy through the Virtual Telescope Project, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.virtualtelescope.eu\/webtv\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Here<\/span>.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don&#8217;t forget to look up at the sky late tonight, just before the break of dawn for the Perseid meteor shower, one of the most impressive meteor showers of the [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1904,"featured_media":142082,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-142047","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
