🌠The #Perseid#MeteorShower will reach its peak around August 12. However, the presence of the Moon, which will be 84% illuminated on the night of 12 to 13 August, will hinder the observation of the less bright shooting stars. Hence, arm yourself with patience to observe them.

Boot Arch Perseids by Mike Abramyan

The Perseid meteor shower occurs every August. Each meteor is painstakingly aligned to its true location in the night sky. The final depiction shows all the meteors captured, combined into one frame – as if the Earth hadn’t been rotating and all the meteors had fallen at once.
