The Perseid meteor shower is a result of space debris from the tail of the Swift-Tuttle comet orbiting around the sun every 133 year, according to abc new.The meteor shower has been observed for at least 2,000 years as the Earth passes through a cloud of the comet's debris each August. This August however those in the northern hemisphere have a better view of the persid meteor shower. This is due to the location of the meteor shower in relationship to the earth, the condition and brightness /glare of the moon. This is Amazing spectacle because it gives us he ability to view these astrological bodies in a new way rather than seeing it on a computer,or television screen. This also give us a sense on how other objects in space move.
