Open this photo up and look for the small, white dot just left of centre.
It looks like Venus, shining brightly in the twilight sky.
But it's us.
It's Earth.

The clouds cleared away for a portion of last night and the meteor cameras recorded more Perseid meteors. The first pair of images were acquired from within the city of Calgary. The second pair of images were recorded by a camera south of Calgary. Moonlight was still a factor last night.
