COSMIC MESSAGE

Astronaut Ron Garan captured this view of a Perseid meteor from the International Space Station in 2011. While we usually look up to see meteors, this image looks down on one. The glowing dust grain, left by comet Swift-Tuttle, is heated to incandescence as it travels through Earth's upper atmosphere.
