The constellation Orion is framed by two Perseid meteors in this photo from Aug. 12, 2018, in Cedar Breaks National Monument, Utah.
The Perseids - one of the year's brightest and most popular meteor showers - has been ramping up since early July and will sparkle in the skies through the end of August. The shower reached its peak on the night of Aug. 12 into the early morning of Aug. 13.
Rewatch the Aug. 13 meteor shower.
