A Perseid meteor streaks across the sky above Inspiration Point early on August 12, 2016 in Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah. The annual display, known as the Perseid shower because the meteors appear to radiate from the constellation Perseus in the northeastern sky, is a result of Earth's orbit passing through debris from the comet Swift-Tuttle.

A view of meteors lighting up the night sky above a wind turbine at 'Saint Nikola' wind park near the Kavarna, some 500km from Sofia, Bulgaria, 12 August 2016. 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.

This picture taken on August 12, 2016 shows a Perseid meteor along the Milky Way illuminating the dark sky near Pesquera de Ebro in the province of Burgos, northern Spain, during the “Perseids” meteor shower. Northern hemisphere sky-gazers are in for a special treat on August 11, night with a rare shooting star “outburst”, which astronomers hope will not be marred by clouds and a bright Moon.

In this night photo a Perseid meteor streaks across the sky during the annual Perseid meteor shower above a roadside silhouette of a Spanish fighting bull, in Reduena, Spain, Friday, August 12, 2016. Scientists say this year the Perseid meteor shower will be more intense than normal, predicting up to 200 meteors per hour caused by a trail of debris from a comet orbiting the Sun.
