If you missed the showers on Thursday night, you’ll still have a chance to catch them over the next few days, however, the amount of shooting stars will decrease by half each night.
For the best viewing, be sure to go out about half an hour early so your eyes can adjust to the darkness. It’s also advised to go later in the evening to ensure the moon doesn’t interfere with your stargazing.
Below are photos from local Vancouver photographers who captured of the stunning Perseid Meteor Shower from the lower mainland.
