Perseid meteor shower 2027 in Gwangju: the sky above you
The real sky over Gwangju, South Korea at 13 August 2027, 03:00 local time: 3,086 stars above the horizon, including Vega, Capella, Altair. This is the peak night of the Perseids, the best-loved meteor shower of the northern summer. Free to view, printable as an A3 star chart.
The Perseids radiant is 50° above the horizon over Gwangju at that moment — the poster marks it.
The Moon was below the horizon over Gwangju at that moment — a waxing gibbous, 82% lit — so it leaves the sky to the stars, and the poster shows it the way the night really was.
Brightest named stars up at that moment: Vega, Capella, Altair, Aldebaran, Fomalhaut, Deneb. Every star is a real one from the HYG catalogue, placed with the exact latitude (35.15°) and longitude (126.92°) of Gwangju. North is up and east is on the left, as when you look up.
Printing it at home? There is a second paper: the same sky as ink on white. A full-bleed night A3 bands on a home printer and drinks a cartridge; the ink one does not. Same price, pick either on the next page.
Preview free, one-off payment, no account. Change the place and the line of text on the poster page, or see which moment to pick for a birth, a wedding or an anniversary.
