Perseid meteor shower 2027 in Recife: the sky above you

The real sky over Recife, Brazil at 13 August 2027, 03:00 local time: 3,173 stars above the horizon, including Sirius, Canopus, Capella. 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 19° above the horizon over Recife at that moment — the poster marks it.

The Moon was below the horizon over Recife at that moment — a waxing gibbous, 86% 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: Sirius, Canopus, Capella, Rigel, Achernar, Betelgeuse. Every star is a real one from the HYG catalogue, placed with the exact latitude (-8.05°) and longitude (-34.88°) of Recife. 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.
