Perseid meteor over Tibet. Time-exposure image of a photographer capturing a bright meteor streak (top right) in the night sky, passing over Tibet, China. 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. Part of the Milky Way is at upper centre. The Milky Way is our galaxy seen from the inside, forming a band of stars and nebulae stretching across the sky. Photographed on 13 August 2015. | |
