Perseid meteor shower 2027 in Lima: the sky above you

The real sky over Lima, Peru at 13 August 2027, 03:00 local time: 3,162 stars above the horizon, including Canopus, Rigel, Achernar. 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 11° above the horizon over Lima at that moment — the poster marks it.

The Moon was up over Lima at that moment: a waxing gibbous, 86% lit, 8° above the horizon toward the south-west — the poster draws it where it really stood.

Brightest named stars up at that moment: Canopus, Rigel, Achernar, Altair, Aldebaran, Fomalhaut. Every star is a real one from the HYG catalogue, placed with the exact latitude (-12.05°) and longitude (-77.04°) of Lima. North is up and east is on the left, as when you look up.

Make it an A3 poster — $4.99

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.
