明亮的火星和更明亮的木星在午夜后的瑞典瓦伦图纳的松树上方紧密结合。这张照片拍摄于8月12日地磁风暴期间，记录了从画面左侧发出的北极光。当然，在那一天英仙座流星雨穿过地球的天空，来自流星雨的母体，周期彗星斯威夫特-塔特尔的尘埃颗粒。右上方的流星条纹是英仙座流星雨以每秒60公里的速度穿过大气层。在地球的夜空中，明亮的昴宿星团在英仙座流星雨的下面闪耀。在希腊神话中，昴宿星是天文巨人阿特拉斯和海洋女神昴宿星的七个女儿。昴宿星团及其母星的名字是星团中最亮的九颗恒星。画廊：2024年英仙座流星雨和极光

Bright Mars and even brighter Jupiter are in close conjunction just above the pine trees in this post-midnight skyscape from Vallentuna, Sweden. Taken on August 12 during a geomagnetic storm, the snapshot records the glow of aurora borealis or northern lights, beaming from the left side of the frame. Of course on that date Perseid meteors rained through planet Earth's skies, grains of dust from the shower's parent, periodic comet Swift-Tuttle. The meteor streak at the upper right is a Perseid plowing through the atmosphere at about 60 kilometers per second. Also well-known in Earth's night sky, the bright Pleiades star cluster shines below the Perseid meteor streak. In Greek myth, the Pleiades were seven daughters of the astronomical titan Atlas and sea-nymph Pleione. The Pleiades and their parents' names are given to the cluster's nine brightest stars.
