COSMIC MESSAGE
This week is a good time to see meteors, as dust from Comet Swift-Tuttle rains down during the Perseid Meteor Shower. This composite image from the 2018 Perseids, taken in Slovakia, shows many meteors appearing to radiate from a single point in the constellation Perseus. The dome of the Kolonica Observatory is visible in the foreground.
