COSMIC MESSAGE
The Perseid Meteor Shower, active this weekend, brings grains of ice and rock into Earth's atmosphere. These particles, shed by Comet Swift-Tuttle, burn up and create streaks of light. The Perseids are typically the most active meteor shower of the year, so look for them in a clear, dark sky.
