Explanation:
Perseid meteors rained on
planet Earth
last night.
This year the stream of dust from periodic comet Swift-Tuttle has
produced a stunningly active shower of bright cosmic streaks.
In this 25 second long exposure, one luminous Perseid trail, fast and
colorful with a small explosion at the end, is witnessed by
night skygazers
from Torralba del Burgo, Soria, Spain.
A second fainter meteor trail appears well below the first.
The two can be
extended to intersect at the meteor shower's radiant just
above the brighter stars of the heroic constellation Perseus.
Though the meteor shower's activity is waning, in the coming days
Perseids will still flash through the night.
But you won't see any if you don't go outside and
look up.
