The comet is quite a big boy, measuring 26 kilometers (16 miles) across \u2013 double the size of the object that wiped out the dinosaurs. It was discovered back in 1862 and got its funky name from the two gentlemen who spotted it first: Lewis Swift and Horace Tuttle.  <\/p>\n<p>The last time Swift-Tuttle reached its closest point to the Sun was in 1992, and it\u2019s not coming back until 2125. But its trail still graces us with the yearly stunning celestial event we call the Perseid meteor shower.  <\/p>\n<p>For more news go to: http:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/<\/p>\n<p>Follow DW on social media:<br \/>\n\u25baInstagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dwnews<br \/>\n\u25baTikTok: https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@dwnews<br \/>\n\u25baFacebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/deutschewellenews\/<br \/>\n\u25baTwitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/dwnews<\/p>\n<p>F\u00fcr Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/dwdeutsch<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/deutschewelleenglish?sub_confirmation=1<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rizzmaxxing 2026: Get ready to see up to a 100 shooting stars per hour!
