Perseids

Uncommon card · No. 190219

The Perseids are a prolific meteor shower associated with the comet Swift–Tuttle that are usually visible from mid-July to late August. The meteors are called the Perseids because they appear from the general direction of the constellation Perseus and in more modern times have a radiant bordering on Cassiopeia and Camelopardalis.
