Stargazers in Qatar and around the world are in for a quiet yet mesmerising treat as the June Bootid Meteor Shower reaches its peak on June 27th night. Known for its unpredictability, the Bootid shower has offered previously from a handful of meteors per hour to dazzling outbursts lighting up the night sky.

The best time to watch is after midnight when the skies are darkest. No telescope or binoculars are necessary; this is a show meant to be enjoyed with the naked eye.

Tips for the Best Viewing Experience:

• Head to an open area far from city lights.

• Allow your eyes to adjust to the darkness — it can take 20 to 30 minutes.

• Bring a blanket, lie back, and let the sky surprise you.

Even just a few meteors can make for a serene and awe-inspiring moment under the stars. Whether you catch a single streak or several, it’s the perfect excuse to pause, breathe, and reconnect with the universe on a warm summer night.
