perseids meteor showers
 
Come & Watch from the Cottonwood Hotel Balcony
 
 
Best mornings to look: August 11, 12 and 13.
 
 
***NOTE... We had a great show last year with 50-100 meteor showers shooting through the air per hour around midnight. The skies are suppose to be perfect again this year for another fabulous show, depending on the weather, in which we can't guarantee.

Every year, you can look for the Perseids around August 10-13. They combine with the Delta Aquarid shower (above) to produce the year’s most dazzling display of shooting stars. In 2013, the Perseid meteors will streak across the short summer nights – August 10-13 – from late night until dawn, with little to no interference from the waxing crescent moon. Plus the moon will be near the planet Saturn in the evening hours, giving a colorful prelude to late-night Perseid show.

 

Perseids Meteor Showers Cottonwood Hotel
Perseids Meteor Showers
When looking for a unique place to watch this shower in Northern Arizona, the Cottonwood Hotel balcony makes a great choice.
 
The Perseid meteor shower is perhaps the most beloved meteor shower of the year for the Northern Hemisphere.  The shower builds gradually to a peak, often produces 50 to 100 meteors per hour in a dark sky at the peak, and, for us in the Northern Hemisphere, this shower comes when the weather is warm. The Perseids tend to strengthen in number as late night deepens into midnight, and typically produce the most meteors in the wee hours before dawn. They radiate from a point in the constellation Perseus the Hero, but, as with all meteor shower radiant points, you don’t need to know Perseus to watch the shower; instead, the meteors appear in all parts of the sky. They are typically fast and bright meteors. They frequently leave persistent trains. see more
