Explanation:
Under dark
and mostly moonless night skies, many
denizens of planet Earth
were able to watch this year's Perseid meteor shower.
Seen from a grassy hillside from Shiraz, Iran these
Perseid
meteors streak
along the northern summer Milky Way
before dawn on Sunday, August 13.
Frames used to construct the composited image
were captured near the
active
annual meteor shower's peak
between 02:00 AM and 04:30 AM local time.
Not in this night skyscape, the shower's radiant in
the heroic constellation Perseus is far above the camera's field
of view.
But fans of northern summer nights
can still spot
a familiar asterism.
Formed by bright stars Deneb, Vega, and Altair, the
Summer Triangle
spans the luminous band of the Milky Way.
