Cyprus residents have an exciting celestial event to look forward to this August. The Kition Planetarium and Observatory is hosting its 17th annual Perseids meteor shower viewing. The peak of the meteor shower is expected on August 12.

In addition to the Perseids, a supermoon will grace the skies from August 17-19. During this time, the moon will be at its closest point to Earth, making it appear larger and brighter.

The participation fee is 10 euros, and advance booking is required. The presentation will be in English.
