A long exposure image showing a meteor streaking across the night sky over the early Byzantine Christian basilica “Red Church” dating to the late 4th and 5th century near the town of Perushtitsa, some 120 kilometers from Sofia, Bulgaria, early 13 August 2015. The Perseid meteor shower occurs every year in summer when the Earth passes through debris and dust of the 109P/Swift-Tuttle comet. The Perseids, one of the brightest meteorite swarms, consist of a multitude of stellar particles which due to their high speed glow up and burn by entering Earth's atmosphere.
