Perseid meteor shower illuminates night skies across the world

Bright trails of sunshine streaked throughout the evening sky within the Northern Hemisphere because the annual Perseid meteor bathe peaked early on Sunday, August 13.

With solely a sliver of moon within the sky, the circumstances had been ultimate for seeing a number of meteors.

The Perseids — one of many greatest meteor showers seen from Earth — happen yearly in July and August.

They are largely solely seen within the Northern Hemisphere, significantly in America, Europe and elements of Asia.
