Experience the Perseid Meteor Shower at La Casa Del Zorro
Every year, the night sky puts on a stunning show that leaves spectators in awe. The Perseid meteor shower, a celestial phenomenon, is one such spectacle. An annual event, it is one of the most anticipated meteor showers in the Northern Hemisphere. And what better place to observe this incredible spectacle than from the serene oasis of La Casa Del Zorro Desert Resort & Spa?
What is the Perseid Meteor Shower?
The Perseid meteor shower is an annual event that takes place when Earth passes through the trail of debris left by the Comet Swift-Tuttle. As the particles, or meteoroids, collide with our planet's atmosphere, they burn up, creating streaks of light across the night sky. These are commonly known as shooting stars. The shower gets its name from the constellation Perseus, from which the meteors appear to originate.
This meteor shower is known for its high number of meteors per hour and for its bright and fast meteors. The peak of the Perseid meteor shower happens every year from mid-July to late August. It is during these three nights that spectators can expect to see the most number of meteors, with rates of up to 60 to 100 meteors per hour.
