Also be visible in the sky soitjeastern horizon east and the planet Saturn. While Neptune and Uranus will be visible
PAGASA suggest to use modern binocular or telescope to see and observe the movements of the planets.
Most meteor showers are created by comets. As a comet courses the Sun it sheds an icy, sandy debris stream along its orbit. If Earth travels over this stream, we will see a meteor shower. While the meteors can see anywhere in the sky, if you trace their tracks, the meteors in each shower act to "rain" into the sky from the same area.
