COSMIC MESSAGE
Observers around the world reported lovely displays during this year's Perseid meteor shower, enjoying the absence of a bright Moon. Peak rates were about one meteor per minute. While most Perseids were faint, this bright, colorful fireball meteor flashed over Japan on August 12. Its trail points down and to the left, back to the shower's radiant point between Perseus and Cassiopeia.
