Parker vs Perseid

COSMIC MESSAGE
A bright Perseid meteor streaks across the sky in this composite image, captured during the annual meteor shower. Below it, the four-minute-long trail of a Delta IV Heavy rocket ascends, carrying the Parker Solar Probe. The probe is on its way to study the Sun, while the Perseids are dust grains from Comet Swift-Tuttle.
