Tonight is the peak of the #Geminids meteor shower, the biggest meteor shower after the #Perseids. Sadly, most of Germany will be covered by low clouds. I’ll try my luck about two hours north of Frankfurt. The forecast looks decent for the early morning hours.
📷 : I took this photo last year during the Perseids meteor shower.

A brighter than normal horizon with the slightest hint of red to the naked eye, but the unmistakable glow of the #northernlights was revealed with a 4 second exposure in #Penarth last night. Throw in some #perseids and you have a wonderful night under the stars! #aurora #astronomy

If you're up before the sun this week, check in on the Eastern sky before dawn to see Venus and Jupiter, they will be in conjunction on Tuesday before dawn, they are joined this week with the constellations Orion and Taurus. Use the three stars in Orion's belt to draw an imaginary line towards the horizon to find the bright star Sirius.
If you're going to stargaze just after sunset this week check out the Western sky for the bright star Arcturus.
There's a meteor shower (Perseid) this week peaking on Monday night going into Tuesday, the Moon is pretty bight and won't set until after dawn, so maybe you'll see a few or maybe not? I hate to try to predict really.

Haha, this one image sent me down a rabbit hole of setting up a camping event for the #Perseids weekend, in combination with the #SamsonCreeNation pow wow. I think I've already done that 4 times now. Such a great combo! -
It’s peak Perseid meteor shower night on Tuesday 12 August and Wednesday 13 August.

Here are the all night track-stacks from our 4 #GMN #MeteorCameras in Oxfordshire overnight 12th/13th August 2024. You can clearly see the #Perseids radiant on UK002F. We had 3,360 matched events across the #UKMeteorNetwork that night! #Perseids2024 #MeteorShower #Meteors
-
We had 2,301 matched #Meteors last night across the UK Meteor Network, many #Perseids! Our 4 #GMN #MeteorCameras in #Oxfordshire picked up loads because they're very sensitive, but visually we were seeing about 20 per hour. The radiant is very apparent on these track-stacks! #PerseidsMeteorShower #MeteorShower
-
We had more clear sky than we expected last night in Oxfordshire, UK. We saw a good number of #Perseids visually including a nice #fireball + our #GMN #RaspberryPi #MeteorCameras captured well over 200 #Meteors each! Here are the track-stacks from each camera #PerseidsMeteorShower #MeteorShower
-
Another very busy night on our #GMN #MeteorCameras in Oxfordshire, UK on 8th August 2023. Lots of #Perseids but other minor shower #meteors too. Not a single one of these showed up on my 2,300 DSLR images! #PerseidMeteorShower #MeteorShower

A clear night on 6th/7th August meant we had a very busy night on all 4 of our #GMN #RaspberryPi #MeteorCameras in Oxfordshire, UK. These are the track-stacks from each camera. Dotted or squiggly lines are aircraft or moths in the same frame as a meteor. Plenty of #Perseids! #PerseidsMeteorShower #GlobalMeteorNetwork

Meteor before Galaxy
* Image Credit & Copyright: Fritz Helmut Hemmerich
https://www.flickr.com/people/fhhemmerich/Explanation:
What's that green streak in front of the Andromeda galaxy? A meteor. While photographing the Andromeda galaxy in 2016, near the peak of the Perseid Meteor Shower, a small pebble from deep space crossed right in front of our Milky Way Galaxy's far-distant companion. The small meteor took only a fraction of a second to pass through this 10-degree field. The meteor flared several times while braking violently upon entering Earth's atmosphere. The green color was created, at least in part, by the meteor's gas glowing as it vaporized. Although the exposure was timed to catch a Perseid meteor, the orientation of the imaged streak seems a better match to a meteor from the Southern Delta Aquariids, a meteor shower that peaked a few weeks earlier. Not coincidentally, the Perseid Meteor Shower peaks next week, although this year the meteors will have to outshine a sky brightened by a nearly full moon.https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap250806.html

The Meteor and the Star Cluster

https://www.instagram.com/eaqj/Explanation:
Sometimes even the sky surprises you. To see more stars and faint nebulosity in the Pleiades star cluster (M45), long exposures are made. Many times, less interesting items appear on the exposures that were not intended -- but later edited out. These include stuck pixels, cosmic ray hits, frames with bright clouds or Earth's Moon, airplane trails, lens flares, faint satellite trails, and even insect trails. Sometimes, though, something really interesting is caught by chance. That was just the case a few weeks ago in al-Ula, Saudi Arabia when a bright meteor streaked across during an hour-long exposure of the Pleiades. Along with the famous bright blue stars, less famous and less bright blue stars, and blue-reflecting dust surrounding the star cluster, the fast rock fragment created a distinctive green glow, likely due to vaporized metals.https://science.nasa.gov/mission/hubble/science/explore-the-night-sky/hubble-messier-catalog/messier-45/

Mostly Perseids
In this predawn skyscape recorded during the early morning hours of August 13, mostly Perseid meteors are raining down on planet Earth. You can easily identify the Perseid meteor streaks. They're the ones with trails that seem to converge on the annual meteor shower's radiant, a spot in the heroic constellation Perseus, located off the top of the frame.

They're the ones with trails that seem to converge on the annual meteor shower's radiant, a spot in the heroic constellation Perseus, located off the top of the frame. That's the direction in Earth's sky that looks along the orbit of this meteor shower's parent, periodic Comet Swift-Tuttle. Of course the scene is a composite, a combination of about 500 digital exposures to capture meteors registered with a single base frame exposure. But all exposures were taken during a period of around 2.5 hours from a wind farm near Mönchhof, Burgenland, Austria. Red lights on the individual wind turbine towers dot the foreground. In their spectacular close conjunction, bright planets Jupiter and Venus are poised above the eastern horizon.https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap250821.html

Perseid Meteors from Durdle Door
* Image Credit & Copyright: Josh Dury
https://www.joshduryphoto-media.com/Explanation:
What are those curved arcs in the sky? Meteors -- specifically, meteors from this year's Perseid meteor shower. Over the past few weeks, after the sky darkened, many images of Perseid meteors were captured separately and merged into a single frame, taken earlier. Although the meteors all traveled on straight paths, these paths appear slightly curved by the wide-angle lens of the capturing camera. The meteor streaks can all be traced back to a single point on the sky called the radiant, here just off the top of the frame in the constellation of Perseus. The same camera took a deep image of the background sky that brought up the central band of our Milky Way galaxy running nearly vertically through the featured image's center. The limestone arch in the foreground in Dorset, England is known as Durdle Door, a name thought to survive from a thousand years ago.

How the #Perseids 2025 performed: global activity profiles from two video networks and radio echos place a single pretty pronounced peak around 23:00 and 18:00 UTC on 12 August, respectively, perhaps probing different dust populations. Visual data (not shown) have the peak around 21:00 UTC but nearly level activity until 2:00 UTC on 13 August: see https://skyweek.wordpress.com/2025/08/04/allgemeines-live-blog-ab-dem-4-august-2025/#Aug16 for the sources and more numbers.

109P/Swift-Tuttle
by Alicia Cermak - NASAComet Swift-Tuttle was discovered in 1862 independently by both Lewis Swift and Horace Tuttle.
OverviewComet 109P/Swift-Tuttle takes 133 years to orbit the Sun once. Swift-Tuttle last reached perihelion (closest approach to the Sun) in 1992 and will return again in 2125.
Swift-Tuttle is a large comet – its nucleus is 16 miles (26 kilometers) across. (That is more than twice the size of the object hypothesized to have led the demise of the dinosaurs.)
The pieces of space debris that interact with our atmosphere to create the popular Perseids meteor shower originate from Swift-Tuttle. This annual meteor shower takes place each August, and peaks mid-month. It was Giovanni Schiaparelli who realized in 1865 that this comet was the source of the Perseids.
When comets come around the Sun, the dust they emit gradually spreads into a dusty trail around their orbits. Every year the Earth passes through these debris trails, which allows the bits to collide with our atmosphere where they disintegrate to create fiery and colorful streaks in the sky.
How This Comet Got Its Name
+ Comets are usually named for their discoverer(s) or for the name of the observatory/telescope used in the discovery. Since both Lewis Swift and Horace Tuttle discovered this comet it is named for them. The letter "P" indicates that Swift-Tuttle is a "periodic" comet. Periodic comets have an orbital period of less than 200 yearsCredits

A Cool GIF of a 2025 Perseid
* Image Credit & Copyright: Renaud & Olivier Coppe
https://app.astrobin.com/u/ren1450#galleryExplanation:
The camera battery died about 2am local time on August 12, while shooting in the bright moonlit skies from a garden in Chastre, Brabant Wallon, Belgium, planet Earth. But not before it captured the frames used to compose this cool animated gif of a brilliant Perseid meteor and a lingering visible trail known as a persistent train. The Perseid meteor, a fast moving speck of dust from the tail of large periodic Comet Swift-Tuttle, was heated to incandescence by ram pressure and vaporized as it flashed through the upper atmosphere at 60 kilometers per second. Compared to the brief flash of the meteor, its wraith-like trail really is persistent. A characteristic of bright meteors, a smoke-like persistent train can often be followed for many minutes wafting in the winds at altitudes of 60 to 90 kilometers.

Moonlight, Planets, and Perseids
* Image Credit & Copyright: Jeff Dai (TWAN)
https://twanight.org/profile/jeff-dai/Explanation:
In the predawn sky on August 13, two planets were close. And despite the glare of a waning gibbous Moon, bright Jupiter and even brighter Venus were hard to miss. Their brilliant close conjunction is posing above the eastern horizon in this early morning skyscape. The scene was captured in a single exposure from a site near Gansu, China, with light from both planets reflected in the still waters of a local pond. Also seen against the moonlight were flashes from the annual Perseid Meteor Shower, known for its bright, fast meteors. Near the much anticipated peak of activity, the shower meteors briefly combined with the two planets for a celestial spectacle even in moonlit skies.

Stejně jako minulý rok se pokouším zachytit průlety #perseids atmosférou. Teorie je taková, že ve Francii existuje radar Graves, který vysílá na 143,050 MHz, jeho signál by měl odrazit / rušit ionizovaný vzduch za padající hvězdou. Tento odraz / rušení bych měl dokázat chytit.
Našel jsem spoustu videí, jak se to lidem daří, jen já nic. Letos jsem do sestavy přidal LNA (Low Noise Amplifier – nízkošumový zesilovač), ale nepozoruji žádnou změnu. Tak zase za rok? -

Day 2 of 2 for the #perseids and what do I have again…..clouds. 😡

From the global video data plot https://globalmeteornetwork.org/flux/plots/flux_PER_sol=123.00-147.00_year_2025_full.png in https://globalmeteornetwork.org/flux/ it looks obvious that the #Perseids 2025 peaked sharply and right as predicted around 20:00 UTC on 12 August (which is what - see https://kikimoreau.shinyapps.io/SollongCalc/ - the solar elongation 140.0° represents).
