Meteors as appeared in the sky above Hungary during the peak hours of 2010 Perseid Meteor Shower. This digital composite result is made of combining many single shots which each of them has captured one or two meteors across the sky. Note how the reverse direction of meteor streaks points to the shower radiant in Perseus (lower left). On the other side is planet Jupiter, brighter than any star in our night time.
