8月12日，在加拿大新斯科舍省哈利法克斯以西的夜空中，用相机对准正北拍摄了这颗明亮的英仙座流星。流星的白炽痕迹转瞬即逝。它似乎穿过北斗星的星星，北斗星是著名的北方星群和天上的厨房用具，而闪烁的北极光窗帘，也被称为北极光，在夜晚跳舞。在今年英仙座流星雨高峰期附近，地球上的极光活动因地磁风暴而增强，这使夜空观测者的惊喜倍增。强烈的太空天气是由活跃太阳的耀斑引发的。画廊：2024年英仙座流星雨和极光

A single exposure made with a camera pointed almost due north on August 12 recorded this bright Perseid meteor in the night sky west of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. The meteor's incandescent trace is fleeting. It appears to cross the stars of the Big Dipper, famous northern asterism and celestial kitchen utensil, while shimmering curtains of aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights, dance in the night. Doubling the wow factor for night skywatchers near the peak of this year's Perseid meteor shower auroral activity on planet Earth was enhanced by geomagnetic storms. The intense space weather was triggered by flares from an active Sun. Gallery: Perseid Meteor Shower 2024 and Aurorae
