Millions of Filipinos stuck at home due to the Enhanced Community Quarantine can watch a meteor shower from Thursday to Friday, state weather bureau PAGASA said.
The month of August usually sees the Perseids meteor shower, which can be observed at its peak during the late evening and early morning hours on Aug. 12 to 13.
At least 50 or more meteors can be observed during the peak time, according to PAGASA. Due to the interference of the waxing gibbous Moon, the meteors may appear fainter.
For the best view, meteors should be observed against a clear sky where there is no moonlight and light pollution.
