Perseid Meteors Over Ontario

NASA APOD · Darryl Van Gaal; Annotation: Judy Schmidt

COSMIC MESSAGE

The Perseid meteor shower, which peaked recently, appears to originate from the constellation Perseus. These meteors are sand-sized debris shed by Comet Swift-Tuttle. The comet's orbit brings this material close to Earth, creating a radiant display as it burns up in our atmosphere.
