Grains of icy rock will streak across the sky as they evaporate during entry into Earth&#8217;s atmosphere. These grains were shed from Comet Swift-Tuttle. The Perseids result from the annual crossing of the Earth through Comet Swift-Tuttle&#8217;s orbit, and are typically the most active meteor shower of the year. Although it is hard to predict the level of activity in any meteor shower, in a clear dark sky an observer might see a meteor a minute. This year&#8217;s Perseids occur just before a new Moon and so the relatively dark sky should make even faint meteors visible. Meteor showers in general are best be seen from a relaxing position, away from lights. Featured here is a meteor caught exploding two weeks ago above Austria next to the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/-gm72WaslaZo\/VcrGjbdQR2I\/AAAAAAABM6Q\/BlqVjmgJ9Sc\/w750-h738\/MeteorBoom_vanderHoeven_750.gif\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Import\u00e9 de <a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/104239776541827516598\/posts\/cVo5XQfCPci\">Google+<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google+ reshared post Milky Way and Exploding MeteorImage Credit &amp; Copyright: Andr\u00e9 van der Hoevenhttp:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\/ap150812.html Tonight the Perseid Meteor Shower reaches its maximum.
