You don\u2019t need any special equipment to view the Perseids \u2013 just your eyes.&nbsp; (Note that telescopes or binoculars are not recommended.) Meteors can generally be seen all over the sky so don\u2019t worry about looking in any particular direction.<\/p>\n<p>Pro tip:&nbsp; Remember to let your eyes become adjusted to the dark (it takes about 30 minutes) \u2013 you\u2019ll see more meteors that way. Try to stay off of your phone too, as looking at devices with bright screens will negatively affect your night vision and hence reduce the number of meteors you see!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p><\/p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">People desperate to spot the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Perseids?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Perseids<\/a> should start looking up ASAP.<br><br>Everything you need to know about this year&#39;s meteor shower: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ryUWRVe0YQ\">https:\/\/t.co\/ryUWRVe0YQ<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Popular Science (@PopSci) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PopSci\/status\/1158784063722991616?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 6, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>High numbers of meteors will be visible when the Perseids meteor shower peaks early next week.
