Moonless Meteors and the Milky Way

NASA APOD · Petr Horálek
COSMIC MESSAGE

The Perseid meteor shower's peak was last night, but activity continues tonight. This year's shower benefits from a new moon, meaning less light interference. Fainter meteors are easier to spot, as the nearly new moon does not rise before morning twilight.
