A spectacular astronomical phenomenon tonight in Israel. 💫 In mid-August every summer, thousands of Israelis travel to the Negev Desert in the south of the country to watch the Perseid meteor shower: streaks of light that break the darkness, disappear within a second, and sometimes leave behind a bright trail that lasts for several seconds and sometimes several minutes. This is the Perseid meteor shower, one of the most famous and spectacular meteor showers of the year.

This meteor shower is expected to peak tonight in the skies over Israel.
