2026 August 12 - Perseids over a Little Planet

In today's image, we see a 360 degree panorama centered on Earth with around a hundred perseid meteors from the shower in 2024. This year's meteor shower peaks today and will occur the same day that a solar eclipse will be visible in some parts of the world.
