Riddles And Stars

The Perseid meteor shower is the dusty remains of a comet called Swift-Tuttle, discovered in 1862. Every August when Earth passes closest to the orbit of Swift-Tuttle, amateur astronomers can see shooting stars in the night sky.

We drove deep into the desert and sat on the hood of the car in darkeness.
