#PhotoOfTheDay: A #Perseid #Meteor over Joshua Tree National Park in 2015.

Some meteor showers occur annually or at regular intervals as the Earth passes through the trail of dusty debris left by a comet.

Last August I saw the most incredible Northern Lights I've ever seen (I've only seen them a few times since I live in the Southern Finland). The entire sky was covered with intense green lights and sudden flashes of red and purple. It was such a divine cosmic sight it was almost terrifying.

These pictures are from the last % of the show because I didn't want to miss the most intense part getting my camera. I even managed to capture one of the Perseids in the second picture.

Have been a little slow publishing any photographs while transitioning from Capture One to ART (RawTherapee fork) but here is one edited aurora picture from countryside this Autumn during #Perseid meteor shower with one #shootingstar visible. It was fun event, taking shutter photos on tripod with 13s shutter one after another and trying to get best angle and composition until retiring for bed. #auroraborealis #starphotography #astrophotography #oaktree

Episode 18 of #EarthEclectic is now available!

This show includes a mix of newly released music, a few old classics, and some remakes of familiar songs, all to do with relationships with the wider universe in our desire to reach out, our challenges, our successes, our follies and our disasters - inspired by the #Perseid #MeteorShower

shower over on Tuesday night. Facing North with some bright meteor trails left and a few fainter, parallel satellite traces from top-left to bottom middle.
(105 minutes trail).

🪷✨☄️💥 This is the best weekend to see the #Perseid meteor shower ... 60 shooting stars a minute. The #Perseids are easier to see this year due to the diminished light of the new moon🌛. Our sky map shows the near-Earth asteroid (or dwarf planet) Antinous. It is as if #Antinous is shooting his arrows of fiery love into your heart💥☄️✨. Here is how to wish upon a falling star: antinousstars.blogspot.com/202 🪷

My collage with 8 meteors from the #Perseid shower on August 12, 2024.

This is the result of a wonderful evening spent with my kids under a dark sky. It was also my first attempt at capturing a meteor shower.

I used the legacy OM 24mm lens.

Did I just monitor the echoes of a whole swarm of satellites?

Watching the echoes from the Graves radar to monitor for Perseid meteorites, I can occasionally see satellites as well. This happens when the reflections are strong enough. Sats are always easily discernible due to their much higher speed compared to airplanes.

Now I saw this this morning - an entire set of sat-like reflections, like a group of satellites close by and following the same trajectory.

I love looking at the night sky, at this time of year , looking for a shooting star, to streak across the sky! 👏🤩☄️💫✨🌟

I failed to see any #Perseid last night with my eyes, but I had my camera on an interval for about an hour and a half, and it *did* capture one!

Nothing spectacular though. 🌠

#PhotoOfTheDay: #Perseid #Meteors over Stonehenge

A meteor shower: specifically, the Perseid meteor shower. A few nights ago, after the sky darkened, many images of meteors from this year's Perseids were captured separately and merged into a single frame.

The featured image was taken from Wiltshire, England, being careful to include, at the bottom, the famous astronomical monument of Stonehenge.
