Perseid meteors and the Milky Way, time-exposure image. Meteor showers occur regularly each year when the Earth crosses the orbit of cometary debris. The Perseid shower is associated with the Swift-Tuttle comet, reaching its peak around 12 August each year. The Milky Way is our galaxy seen from the inside, forming a band of stars and nebulae stretching across the sky. Photographed on 14 August 2016, above Mourao, Alqueva Dark Sky Reserve, Portugal. | |
