A person watching a clear sky from a dark location might see a bright meteor every minute. These meteors are actually specks of rock that have broken off Comet Swift-Tuttle and continued to orbit the Sun until they vaporize in Earth&#8217;s atmosphere. The featured composite image shows a outburst of Perseids as they appeared over Turkey during last year&#8217;s meteor shower. Enough meteors were captured to trace the shower&#8217;s radiant back to the constellation of Perseus on the far left. The tail-end of the Perseids will still be going during the total solar eclipse on August 21, creating a rare opportunity for some lucky astrophotographers to image a Perseid meteor during the day. via NASA <a href=\"http:\/\/ift.tt\/2hgcaXB\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Perseid Meteor Shower, usually the best meteor shower of the year, will peak late next week.
