Enjoy the tears of San Lorenzo - Reuters

MADRID, Aug. 10 (CHANCE) –

On the morning of August 12 can enjoy the Perseids shower of tears of San Lorenzo . When we refer to the Perseids we mean the meteor shower with high activity . The Perseids name is because their radiant is in the constellation Perseus.

While most meteor showers are the ‘shooting stars’ rain San Lorenzo is the most popular and observed in our hemisphere. This is because in this month the weather is nice and people take to the streets and it is a holiday period for many. Another curious fact is that occurs every year but usually has its peak from 10 to 13 August.

The only advice I give is that if you want to observe this phenomenon away from urban centers and move to the countryside . This is because artificial light city remove all visibility to be appreciated with vivid clarity and detail.

says the best way to witness this meteor shower is with the naked eye . You do not need binoculars or telescopes, simply being in a place with a wide view of the sky, away from bright lights.

The IAC also tell us that shooting stars are small dust particles of different sizes ranging leaving comets around the Sun In the case that one of these comets approaching the regions of the inner solar system, its core composed of ice and rock, is sublimated by the action of solar radiation and thus create dust and gas tails.

At that meeting, the dust particles disintegrate at high speed in the general atmosphere and well known light trails called meteors.
