Perseid Meteors over Mount Shuksan, Washington

Several Perseid meteors, including two especially bright ones, streak across the sky over Mount Shuksan in the North Cascades of Washington state. The Perseids are an annual meteor shower that occurs in August when Earth passes through the debris of Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle. The meteors are comet debris burning up in the Earth's atmosphere.
