Tonight’s sturgeon supermoon could have you dancing in the moonlight — the type that only happens three to four times per year. The sturgeon moon will steal the spotlight of the Perseid meteor shower peaking Thursday through Saturday. “Bright moon phases are bad for meteor showers as they wash out the dimmer meteors,” Hankey said. In previous years, the Perseids have been a highly anticipated shower in the Northern Hemisphere, where it’s usually more visible. The partial solar eclipse on October 25 will be visible to people in Greenland, Iceland, Europe, Northeast Africa, the Middle East, West Asia, India and western China.
