What is the Perseids Meteor Shower? The Perseids meteor shower is a display of meteors that appears to radiate from the constellation Perseus. The Perseids meteor shower will be visible from London, assuming favourable weather conditions. So, with luck, clear skies, and patience, the Perseids meteor shower could provide a magical night under the stars. The Perseids meteor shower, combined with today's deep solar eclipse, makes today a special day for aficionados of the sky.
