Perseid meteor shower 2027 in Tucson: the sky above you

The real sky over Tucson, United States at 13 August 2027, 03:00 local time: 3,066 stars above the horizon, including Vega, Capella, Rigel. 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 49° above the horizon over Tucson at that moment — the poster marks it.

The Moon was below the horizon over Tucson at that moment — a waxing gibbous, 87% 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, Rigel, Betelgeuse, Altair, Aldebaran. Every star is a real one from the HYG catalogue, placed with the exact latitude (32.22°) and longitude (-110.93°) of Tucson. 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.
