│ The Perseid meteor shower peak was spectacular: Here are our favorite photos │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Summary / excerpt:
The Perseid meteor shower peaked last night in spectacular fashion, dazzling stargazers
as countless shooting stars blazed overhead mere hours after a total solar eclipse saw
the lunar disk hide the sun over Greenland, Iceland and Spain. Perseid shooting stars
appear as Earth enters the debris trail cast off by the icy comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle .
Each year, countless shards of this ancient comet collide with our wandering planet.
What follows is truly spectacular. Most are no larger than a particle of dust, or grain
of sand. Yet the incredible velocity at which they strike our atmosphere — 37 miles (59
kilometers) per second on average — sees many carve a fiery path as they disintegrate
in Earth's sky, which is easily visible to the naked eye. Countless photographers were
primed and ready to capture this magnificent display as Earth passed through the
densest region of Swift-Tuttle debris
