Observe meteor shower tonight!!

According to the International Meteor Organisation (IMO), the meteor shower is expected to be best viewed from 1.30am to 4am on Thursday.

the Perseids are a prolific meteor shower associated with the comet Swift-Tuttle which are usually fast, bright and occasionally leave persistent trains.

The Perseid meteor shower has been observed for about 2,000 years, with the first known sighting coming from the Far East.

Those who miss tomorrow’s meteor shower may still catch a “lesser version” after midnight Thursday, or early Friday morning.

According to Dr Chong, he said the meteor shower can be observed with the naked eye.
