Part 6/7:
This year, the peak of the Alpha Centaurids is expected to occur in the early hours of Sunday morning. A notable detail for sky-gazers in 2025 is that the peak will coincide with the waxing and full moon phases, possibly affecting visibility. Astronomer Marcelo Zurita, a columnist for Olhar Digital News, recommends that the optimal time for observing the meteor shower is around 2:30 AM on Sunday.
