Meteor shower tonight

Mississauga and Brampton stargazers should keep an eye on the sky tonight for a special view.

“Tonight, the comet is about 35 degrees south of the sun, and 42 times farther away than the sun. The meteors are colourful and frequently leave persistent trails, making them very visible under regular circumstances. While the full duration of the meteor shower is from July 14 to September 1, the meteors won’t be quite as visible after tonight’s peak.
