      Explanation: Under dark and mostly moonless night skies, many denizens   
      of planet Earth were able to watch this year's Perseid meteor shower.   
      Seen from a grassy hillside from Shiraz, Iran these Perseid meteors   
      streak along the northern summer Milky Way before dawn on Sunday,   
      August 13. Frames used to construct the composited image were captured   
      near the active annual meteor shower's peak between 02:00 AM and 04:30   
      AM local time. Not in this night skyscape, the shower's radiant in the   
      heroic constellation Perseus is far above the camera's field of view.   
      But fans of northern summer nights can still spot a familiar asterism.   
      Formed by bright stars Deneb, Vega, and Altair, the Summer Triangle   
      spans the luminous band of the Milky Way.
