它看起来就像小王子的星球上的风景。这张特色图片是2024年英仙座流星雨的重现，在这张投影图中，波兰的Bieszczady山脉环绕着它。在天空中可以看到银河系的拱形，以及几个红色的星云和一百多颗流星指向辐射点。英仙座流星雨在北半球的夏季很容易看到，也很受欢迎。（在冬天看流星雨不太方便是有原因的）。今年，他们预计将提供比往年更令人眼花缭乱的奇观，因为高峰恰逢新月。2026年英仙座流星雨将在今晚达到峰值，每小时多达50-100颗流星，届时地球的轨道将穿过斯威夫特-塔特尔彗星留下的碎片。通常，观看流星的最佳时间是在午夜到黎明前。你不需要双筒望远镜就能看到流星，但一把草坪椅和一个黑暗的天空位置会有帮助。今天有日全食！看这里，如果你在日全食的路径上。

It looks like a view from the Little Prince's planet. The featured image is a throwback to the 2024 Perseid meteor shower, surrounded in this projection by the Bieszczady Mountains in Poland. Visible in the sky is the arch of the Milky Way, along with several nebulas in red and over a hundred meteors pointing to the radiant. The Perseids are easily visible and quite popular in the Northern Hemisphere summer. (Watching meteor showers in the winter is less convenient for a good reason). This year they are expected to offer an even more dazzling spectacle than usual, because the peak coincides with a new moon. The 2026 Perseid meteor shower will peak tonight with as many as 50-100 meteors per hour, when the Earth's path crosses through debris left behind by Comet Swift-Tuttle. Typically, the best times for seeing the meteors are between midnight and pre-dawn. You won't need binoculars to see the meteors, but a lawn chair and a dark sky location help. There is total solar eclipse happening today! See here if you are in the path of totality.
