Photographer Travis Morisse took this great shot of a meteor streaking across the sky near Hutchinson, Kansas.
Which reminds me, the Moon may obscure your view of the Perseid meteor shower, but you can still listen to the meteors. It’s all thanks to NASA’s SpaceWeatherRadio, which translates radio waves into sound. Radio waves are beamed into the upper atmosphere and bounce off of meteors. The “echo” of that is what you’ll be listening to. It’s eerie and fabulous. You can listen live, or check out recordings from meteor showers past.
