What is this?
From Massacre Rim to Great Basin National Park , Tonopah , and beyond, Nevada boasts some of the darkest skies in the country. Even though millions of stars, constellations, planets, and galaxies are visible to the naked eye year-round here, one of our favorite astronomical events is the Perseid Meteor Shower, where 150-200 meteors streak through the sky every hour. Best yet, this spectacular show happens every summer—right in the middle of Nevada’s prime-time Milky Way viewing season. Load up the whole family for a trek into some of the best stargazing conditions in the United States. Stargazing in the Silver State gets that much sweeter during the Perseid Meteor Shower, where 150-200 meteors streak through the skies every hour. The Perseid Meteor Shower begins in mid-July and continues through late August. Peak viewing is typically expected August 9-13. Special equipment won’t be required to see the Perseids, but telescopes, dark sky charts/apps, and even long-exposure camera setups
