“Comet Dust over Enchanted Rock” is copyrighted by Jared Tennant. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteDusty debris from Comet Swift-Tuttle was swept up by Earth this week, creating a stream of Perseid meteors. Vaporized by their passage through the atmosphere, these tiny grains produced bright flashes. This colorful Perseid meteor was captured after midnight on August 12, over Enchanted Rock in central Texas.
