The annual Perseid meteor shower occurs when the earth passes through the cosmic debris from the trail of Comet Swift-Tuttle in 1992. It gets more magical when it aligns with the enchanting Aurora Borealis also known as the Northern Lights.
Stunning photographs have captured the Perseid meteor shower that has delighted stargazers across the world.
"Astro lovers are expected to see shooting stars whizzing past in the skies as the Perseid meteor showers will be seen on the night of August 12 to 14," Science Popularisation Association of Communicators and Educators (SPACE) President C B Devgun told PTI.
