Perseids Meteor Shower

The night sky is filled with stars. Looking toward the bottom left and top right, two streaks are visible. These are meteors. Between the two streaks is the constellation Orion. The bottom of the image is lined with the silhouette of treetops.

The constellation Orion is framed by two Perseid meteors in this photo from Aug. 12, 2018, in Cedar Breaks National Monument, Utah.

The Perseids – one of the year’s brightest and most popular meteor showers – has been ramping up since early July and will sparkle in the skies through the end of August. The shower reached its peak on the night of Aug. 12 into the early morning of Aug. 13.
