“Stunning Perseid Meteor Shower Lights Up Night Skies Worldwide”

The annual Perseid meteor shower occurs as Earth passes through debris left by Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle. This celestial event peaked overnight, coinciding with a new moon, creating optimal stargazing conditions without moonlight interference. Spectacular Perseid meteor streaks were observed at Mount Ramon in the Negev Desert, near Mitzpe Ramon, Israel. Similarly, people marveled at a meteor streaking across the sky at Visnjan Observatory in Croatia. In North Macedonia, a meteor illuminated the night sky above the Stone Dolls of Kuklica near Kratovo. Additionally, a gathering at the Monument to the Unknown Hero on Mount Avala, near Belgrade, Serbia, witnessed the Perseid meteor shower. A meteor streaked across the night sky above the megalithic stone walls of the ancient Illyrian city of Daorson near Stolac, Bosnia-Herzegovina. Finally, Jacobsdorf, Germany, captured a stunning image of a meteor with a green tail and satellite streaks during the Perseid meteor shower. St. Mark’s Tower, a 17th-century fortification near the village of Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq in Malta, provided a picturesque backdrop for a Perseid meteor streaking across the night sky.
