Tips to enjoy a star shower
The first thing you should take into account is to move to a place with almost no light pollution, because this way it will be easier to enjoy them.
High places and away from the city are the best option, since you will avoid visual obstacles and objects that emit too much light.
The second and most important tip? Be very patient, because witnessing these astronomical events is something that almost always depends on having a lot of luck. Be at the right time, in the right place.
