Known for producing meteors in vivid hues \u2014 red, green, yellow, and even blue \u2014 they create a spectacle that feels almost otherworldly. Each meteor is a fragment of cosmic debris, left behind by a passing comet or asteroid, burning up as it collides with Earth\u2019s atmosphere. The result? A fleeting blaze of brilliance across the night sky.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"854\" data-end=\"885\">\u23f0 When and Where to Watch<\/h3>\n<ul data-start=\"886\" data-end=\"1158\">\n<li data-start=\"886\" data-end=\"956\">\n<p data-start=\"888\" data-end=\"956\"><strong data-start=\"888\" data-end=\"910\">Best Viewing Time:<\/strong> Midnight until the early hours before dawn.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"957\" data-end=\"1158\">\n<p data-start=\"959\" data-end=\"1158\"><strong data-start=\"959\" data-end=\"977\">Where to Look:<\/strong> Toward the <strong data-start=\"989\" data-end=\"1009\">northeastern sky<\/strong>, near the constellation <strong data-start=\"1034\" data-end=\"1053\">Cygnus the Swan<\/strong>.
