## Caption

The annual Perseid meteor shower is one of the most celebrated, spectacular, and predictable #celestial displays. This year, skywatchers who tuned in during peak nights between August 11 and August 13 were treated to the sight of 60 to 70 #meteors per hour screaming across the sky as space rocks entered the Earth's atmosphere.
Pictured here, a photographer holds a flashlight up to night sky as #Perseid meteors streak across the sky in Esme district of Usak, #Turkey.
