“Stunning Perseid Meteor Shower Lights Up Night Sky Worldwide”

The annual Perseid meteor shower is a result of Earth passing through the debris trail left by Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle. This celestial event reached its peak overnight, coinciding with a new moon that created optimal viewing conditions for stargazers as the absence of moonlight allowed for clear observation. Below are images capturing the streaks of Perseid meteors across the sky at Mount Ramon in the Negev Desert, near Mitzpe Ramon, Israel. Additionally, people enjoyed watching a meteor streak across the sky at Visnjan Observatory in Croatia. Another striking image shows a meteor streaking across the night sky above the Stone Dolls of Kuklica, near Kratovo, North Macedonia. People gathered around the Monument to the Unknown Hero on Mount Avala, near Belgrade, Serbia, to witness the Perseid meteor shower. In southern Bosnia-Herzegovina, a meteor streaked across the night sky above the megalithic stone walls of the ancient Illyrian city of Daorson near Stolac. Lastly, a meteor with a green tail and the streaks of two satellites were visible from Jacobsdorf, Germany, during the Perseid meteor shower. Notably, a Perseid meteor streaked across the night sky behind St. Mark’s Tower, a 17th-century coastal fortification near the village of Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq, Malta.
