Star-gazers in the UK have been sending us their pictures of shooting stars as the Perseid meteor shower reached its climax overnight. May Chan took this picture in Oxford.
A meteor streaks over the Stellafane Observatory in Springfield, Vermont, on August 7, near the start of the annual Perseid meteor shower.
There was a meteor shower the previous night. The person who saw it lives on the third floor.
Some meteors videotaped with a night vision camera. All meteors are Perseids except the third one.
Welcome to the twenty-first International Meteor Organization (IMO) Meteor Shower Calendar, for 2011. The year starts brightly enough meteorically, with the Quadrantid peak perfectly-timed for new Moon, followed by favourable returns for the ?–Centaurids and ?–Aquariids, but the later-year major showers are all quite to very badly moonlit.
The moon is getting quite large and bright in the August 2011 sky. But until about August 10, there is a moon-free window for watching meteors before dawn.
For Northern Hemisphere observers, August is usually regarded as "meteor month" with one of the best displays of the year reaching its peak near midmonth. That display is, of course, the annual Perseid Meteor Shower beloved by everyone from meteor enthusiasts to summer campers.
Time of all meteor showers in 2011.
