The Perseid meteor shower starts now. Stargazers can watch 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 see the meteors.

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

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

The Lyrids put on a display in April. April nights offer a subtle meteor show.

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

Skies in 2026 should be perfect for watching. Clear horizons guarantee ideal viewing opportunity.

No telescope needed. Bare eyes do the job for this spectacle.
