2012 Perseid Meteor Showers


Composite of 23 images of Perseid meteor shower, taken on the morning of August 12, 2012 by EarthSky Facebook friend David Kingham from the Snowy Range of Wyoming.

The 2012 Perseid meteor shower was awesome! Meteor counts were high, ranging up over 100 meteors per hour in some places, and there was a beautiful alignment of the moon with the sky’s brightest planets Venus and Jupiter in the predawn sky. Simply wonderful.
