Today, a meteor shower will reach its apex in the night sky

Many expect the meteor shower to reach its peak, filling the night sky with shards, like shooting stars, usually appearing between mid-July and the end of August, but culminating in the night. of July 28th.

According to the British newspaper Mirror, there are the best views of the meteorite rain in the southern hemisphere, but they will also be visible from the northern latitudes. If you are in a dark place with a clear sky and the moon is very few 20 stars fall every hour.

These comets come from particles of the comet that enter the atmosphere. When comets revolve around the sun, the dust that emits it gradually spreads in a corridor of dust around its orbit.

Each year, the earth crosses tracks of debris, allowing molecules to collide with our atmosphere and break down to create colorful streaks in the sky.

It is suspected that the space debris that interacts with our atmosphere to create the meteorite rain comes from comet 96P / Machholz, which is about four miles wide, circling the sun once every five years.
