Meteor Shower, an annual dark sky spectacle, is set to put on its most dazzling display over the next few nights.<\/p>\n<p>The shower is the prime time of the year to see shooting stars \u2013 and

This year, it is due between 17 July \u2013 24 August, so you have several more days to wish on a shooting start after its peak.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Where is the best place to see Perseid meteor shower?<\/h3>\n<p>The northern hemisphere will see the most dramatic displays, but the darker the location, the better.<\/p>\n<p>The UK is home to 21 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/inspiration\/guide-to-britain-s-international-dark-sky-reserves\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">International Dark Sky Reserves<\/a>, which experience very little light pollution. Any of these will be great locations for observing the spectacle, although locations in Scotland and England are due to have clearer nights with minimal cloud cover.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere in the northern hemisphere, Jordan is one of the most popular locations for astronomy enthusiasts to visit during the Perseids. The otherworldly Wadi Rum often sees meteor showers throughout the year, but the Perseid meteor shower is undoubtedly the most sought-after.<\/p>\n<p>If you are unable to make it to a dark sky reserve, finding the darkest places in your neighbourhood that is little-affected by light pollution should also offer an opportunity to witness the event.<\/p>\n<p>Stargazers are advised to stay patient, keeping their eyes focussed on the night sky in order to adjust to the darkness and enjoy the most dramatic displays.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-sidebar-content\" data-ad=\"last\"><div id=\"wak-acf-block-592854\" class=\"wak-acf-block wak-content-layout-default wak-acf-block-advert wak-ad-last\" data-placement-id=\"63380\" data-advert-visible=\"1\">\r\n    \r\n    <div class=\"wak-advert-container\">\r\n        \n            <div id=\"div-gpt-ad-63380\">\n                <script>\n                    googletag.cmd.push(() => { \n                        googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-63380'); \n                    });\n                <\/script>\n            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Perseid meteor shower puts on a spectacle from July to August every year.
