#meteor shower
An amazing sky! The Milky Way Galaxy is visible along the left. If you’re near a dark sky, you can usually see part of our galaxy. There is also a bright meteor visible on the upper right, part of a very bright Perseid Meteor Shower from last week. Red sprites, a type of lightening visible on the lower right, also make an appearance in this image. Nova RS Ophiuchus discovered about a week ago, is visible just above the image center. Novas bright enough to be seen with the unaided eye occur every few years. It was such a special occurrence to capture all these things together, in a single night, on a single sky, above Zacatecas, Mexico.
