Meteor shower begins Tuesday
The Perseids meteor shower will be visible in Thailand in the early hours of tomorrow if clouds do not block the view of the night sky.
The meteor shower, which happens when trails of debris left by the Swift Tuttle comet collide with the Earth's atmosphere, will be expected from "all directions in the sky" across the country between midnight and 5am, astronomer Worawit Tanwutthibandit said Sunday.
Stargazers are advised to look northwest to the Perseus constellation, but
Mr Worawit warned that viewing conditions may not be ideal. "A major hindrance during my 16 years of observations has been the rainy season," he said. "Most parts of the sky are covered [with cloud]."
The Perseids usually occurs in August, during the rainy season.
