PERSEID Meteor Shower 2024 Above Meteora, Greece

            The prolific Perseids were continuously captured during 3 hrs 40 mins above Meteora, Greece on the night of August 12–13, 2024. A composite photograph of 623 shots of the north-northwesternmost part of the sky (constellations ‘Draco’ and ‘Ursa Minor’ are highlighted as they were seen at 01:20’ AM).

The Perseids’ radiant point (to the right of this composite shot) is located near the constellation Perseus. The meteor shower is caused by the trail of debris and dust left in space along the orbit of the comet Swift-Tuttle; tiny particles enter the Earth’s atmosphere and burn up, producing bright streaks of light in the sky. The Meteora rock formations were formed sixty million years ago. They are geologically unique and listed in UNESCO world heritage sites. Varlaam (aka All Saints’) monastery is seen in the foreground; It was built c.1517 on a 1,808 ft high (551 m) rock formation.
