NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“Meteors and Milky Way over Mount Rainier” is copyrighted by Matthew Dieterich. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

This image captures the Perseid meteor shower over Mount Rainier, Washington, USA. It was created from a two-hour time-lapse video, showing over 20 meteors. Each meteor is a tiny bit of comet dust, burning up as it enters Earth's atmosphere, and typically lasts less than a second. The camera was able to record the color progressions of these disintegrating particles.
