Make a Wish (Single)
DESCRIPTION
Anything you wish... may come true. They always say "make a wish" when a shooting star appears. Shooting stars, however, are not stars but meteors and it's the glowing trail of a meteoroid or a piece of space debris that burns as soon as it enters the earth's atmosphere. For many people, the best time for making their wishes comes every year around mid-August, when the debris of comet Swift-Tuttle enters the Earth's atmosphere, bringing one of the most observed meteor showers ever--Perseids. In this image, 223 Perseid meteors (some of them very bright with their persistent trains) captured during the 2023 Perseids peak over Poloniny Dark Sky Park bring chances to make a wish to a happy woman, which probably had wished one more wish a few months before that: To bring a new life on a small world called Earth.
