The Perseid meteor shower is a well‑known annual astronomical event in the Northern Hemisphere, originating from debris of the Swift‑Tuttle Comet, which visits Earth every summer. On the night of August 12, the meteor shower entered its main viewing window. The new moon effectively reduced moonlight interference and brought favorable conditions for ground‑based observation.
The celestial event sparked widespread online discussion. Many enthusiasts headed outdoors to wait for meteors, while netizens interacted online and asked: “Did you see the meteor shower?” Some shared their photos of meteors, but a number of people missed the show due to weather, light pollution and other factors.
