A meteor shower is a celestial event in which a number of meteors are observed to radiate, or originate, from one point in the night sky.
These meteors are caused by streams of cosmic debris called meteoroids entering Earth's atmosphere at extremely high speeds on parallel trajectories. Most meteors are smaller than a grain of sand, so almost all of them disintegrate and never hit the Earth's surface.
The Perseids are a prolific meteor shower associated with the comet Swift–Tuttle. The shower is visible from mid-July each year, with the peak in activity between 9 and 14 August. This years shower began a little early and we were able to collect a few shiny pieces that you may admire at stage 1 of this multi cache.
