Lucky Shot
Description
As seen on the National Geographic News a Perseid meteor zips over Iran’s Alamut Castle during the peak of the Perseid meteor shower in August. The Perseids, which occur annually when Earth and the moon pass through a cloud of rocky particles shed by comet Swift-Tuttle, often provide an impressive show for sky-watchers and astrophotographers.
