<h3 style="line-height: 2;"><strong><span style="font-family: 'Avenir Medium';">Stargazers of Abu Dhabi and the UAE, where will you be looking up the sky to catch one of the biggest Meteor Showers to bless us with their sparkling magic? The Perseids Meteor Showers are coming to our skies on Monday, August the 12th and astronomy-enthusiasts have already made plans and rendez-vous details have been mapped out, so let's have a look at where the action will be taking place.</span></strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Avenir Medium';">Make a wish upon the stars on Monday, August 12 and watch the wonders of the UAE night sky unfold before your eyes.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3 style="line-height: 2;"><span style="font-family: 'Avenir Medium';"><strong>Around 50 to 100 meteors streaking across the skies every hour creating a&nbsp;marvel of a spectacle-&nbsp;<em>in short, </em></strong>as the planet moves through a debris trail left by a former comet,&nbsp;small pieces of rock will hit the Earth&rsquo;s atmosphere, making the short flashes of moving light visible to our eyes.</span></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="line-height: 2;"><span style="font-family: 'Avenir Medium';">Now, let's see the best spots in the UAE because you won't be able to witness it...unless you&rsquo;re in the desert!</span> <span style="font-family: 'Avenir Medium';">Stargazers from Dubai, Abu Dhabi and across the Emirates will be gathering for this one.&nbsp;</span></p>
