Umbrella Man

Umbrella Man
by Pierandrea Folle


The meteor shower of the Perseids, better known as St. Lawrence's tears, one of the most spectacular night events of the year. This is a collection of the largest and brightest meteors photographed on the nights of 12-13-14 August, after the sunset of the moon. It is interesting how they all seem to come from the same radiant point, just next to the star Eta Perseidi, the head of the constellation of Perseus, from where they take their name.
