Explanation:
Have you contemplated your sky recently?
This week will be a good one for midnight meditators at
many northerly locations as
meteors from the
Perseid meteor shower will frequently streaked through.
The Perseid meteor shower has slowly been
building to a crescendo and
should peak on the nights of August 11 and 12.
Pictured above on 2002 August 1,
a group of celestial sightseers near Quebec,
Canada are treated to a dark and wondrous night sky that contained
bright stars,
green auroras, the
band of our
Milky Way galaxy, a majestic
Moon rising, the
International Space Station slowly
gliding by, and the occasional flash of a
Perseid meteor.
Although no meteors were caught in this frame, the
Big Dipper remained quite prominent.
