Daily News | Another ‘super moon,’ Saturn, and some Perseids are ready to star in the night sky

That’s down from the 50 to 100 in some other years, but it might outdo any other shower this year.
This one won’t be quite as bright as July’s but will give it a run for its money, and readers probably won’t notice the difference. In July, the moon was within a mere 223,000 miles of Philadelphia, the closest it will have come in 2022. At its farthest point, the moon is about 254,000 miles away.It will be rising at 9:36 p.m. Thursday and will appear dramatically large on the horizon, an illusion that NASA says continues to elude “a satisfying scientific explanation.
Meteors, so many cosmic fireflies, are out there most every night as cometic particles and other detritus enter Earth’s atmosphere and hurtle toward Earth at 130,000 mph. They become incandescent as they streak through the sky, on occasion exploding into greenish fireballs.
