Perseid meteor i Mælkevejen
En liste af meteorsværme, med datoer. 

På Møn kan man  se meteorer (stjerneskud) hele tiden, når det er klart vejr uden månelys. Men der er tidspunkter hvor der er særligt mange.

Tag et liggeunderlag med ud, læg dig ned og kig op. Hvis man står op, får man nemt ondt i nakken og får ikke set særligt meget.
