Perseids meteor shower will peak next week. But will the moon ruin it for viewers?

The Perseids meteor shower will peak on August 12-13, 2025, but visibility will be hindered by an 84% full moon, reducing visible meteors to 10-20 per hour instead of the typical 50. Observers are advised to wait until a week after the peak for better viewing conditions, as the meteors are remnants of comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle.
