Star fireworks around the Milky Way

The Perseid meteor shower, which peaked last week, is captured by photographer Jingi Chan in Inner Mongolia, China, where meadows meet sand dunes. The arch of the Milky Way rises in the night sky, Saturn and Jupiter are visible on the right, and the atmosphere is on the other.

Presented multi-frame image unites not only different directions from the 360-degree projection, but also different moments of time when bright meteors Perseid for a moment swept through the sky. The whole sky is artificially compressed into a rectangle, making the meteor tracks look curved.

Despite the curved traces, which are actually straight, you can see that all meteors originate from the constellation Perseus in the lower left corner of the image. Although the Perseids always point to their radiant, they can appear almost anywhere in the sky.
