TL;DR Summary

The Perseid meteor shower delighted stargazers around the world, with stunning photos capturing the celestial spectacle. The peak viewing conditions were favorable this year, with the moon only 10% illuminated, allowing for better visibility. The Perseids are caused by Earth passing through debris left behind by Comet Swift-Tuttle, and the peak occurred on August 11-12. Although the peak has passed, the meteor shower remains active until August 24, albeit with fewer meteors per hour.
