COSMIC MESSAGE
These curved meteor trails are from the Perseid Meteor Shower, captured in a multi-frame image. The apparent curvature is an artifact of compressing nearly the entire sky into a single rectangle. All Perseid meteors originate from the constellation Perseus, visible toward the lower left.
