Weather changes aren’t the only rare phenomenon expected in Victoria this weekend. The Perseid Meteor Shower arrives from Friday to Sunday!
We’ve got all the info you need to have the perfect stargazing experience.
Though online rumours about a “once in a lifetime” meteor shower on August 12, are false, with the right combination of weather, timing, and a great viewing spot, you’ll still be in for a treat.
The most important factor for this year’s shower could prove to be the weather. Though the current smoky haze might seem never-ending, forecasts predict that sunny skies will return on Friday!
However, both Saturday and Sunday night could be subject to showers, so we suggest getting your gazing in on Friday night.
As for the best place to be, check out Fort Rodd Hill! Otherwise, head somewhere with minimal light pollution (i.e. away from the city), no immediate dangers (i.e. don’t lie down in the middle of a road), and look up.
