Image Details:

The Perseids meteor shower, a yearly spectacle unfolding in mid-August, is renowned for its abundant shower of shooting stars. This phenomenon arises from Earth's passage through the remnants of the Swift-Tuttle comet. While this year held promise with favorable sky conditions and minimal lunar obstruction, an untimely dense canopy of clouds prematurely curtailed the celestial display.
