Each August, as planet Earth swings through dust trailing along the orbit of periodic comet Swift-Tuttle, skygazers enjoy the Perseid Meteor Shower. Below are the ruins of a medieval castle near Veszprem, Hungary, seen against the Bakony mountain range. In the night sky planet Jupiter is visible above the castle. Montage of two nights (10/11 and 11/12 august 2011).
