A meteor streaks across the sky during the annual Perseid meteor shower, Aug. 12, 2016 in Spruce Knob, West Virginia, USA. A 30 second exposure. The Perseids are a prolific meteor shower associated with the comet SwiftÐTuttle. The meteors are called the Perseids because the point from which they appear to hail lies in the constellation Perseus. Image by senior NASA photographer Bill Ingalls / Credit
