Explanation:
That's
no moon.
On the ground, that's the
Lars Homestead in
Tunisia.
And that's not just any galaxy.
That's the central band of our own
Milky Way galaxy.
Last, that's not just any meteor.
It is a bright
fireball likely from last year's
Perseids meteor shower.
The
featured image composite combines consecutive exposures
taken by the same camera from the same location.
This
year's Perseids
peak during the coming weekend is
expected to show the most meteors after the
first quarter moon sets, near midnight.
To best experience a meteor shower,
you should have clear and dark skies, a
comfortable seat, and patience.
