August 5, 2026

The peak of the Perseids phenomenon will occur on August 12 and 13, 2026, with favorable conditions for observation in Cyprus. The moonless sky will enhance visibility of the 'shooting stars.' Astrophysicist Chrysanthos Phakas mentions that the Perseids will be visible from July 17 to August 24. An astronomical event will be held in Kyperounda for observers. Additionally, a solar eclipse will take place on August 12, though it won't be visible from Cyprus.
