Starry Nights on Mauna Kea

Perseid Meteor Shower 2021 Captured by the Subaru-Asahi Star Camera

August 26, 2021
Last updated: September 6, 2024

  • Low Res.
Detail ： A Perseids fireball flying over the Maunakea observatories. This view was captured by the Subaru-Asahi Star Camera in the early morning of August 12, 2021 (Hawai`i Time: HST). Note that the time difference between HST and UT is -10 hours. The faint glow on the sky rising up from the largest dome (W. M. Keck Observatory) near the center is the zodiacal light (a glow caused by sunlight scattering off an interplanetary cloud of tiny dust particles).
