The Perseid Meteor Shower in Time Lapse

Check out this very cool time lapse video of the Perseid Meteor Shower and the galactic core of the Milky Way as seen from Joshua Tree National Park.

These photos were shot from August 12-15, by Henry Jun Wah Lee, during the peak nights of the annual astronomical event when an estimated 60 to 90 meteors per hour can be seen.

(Please note that a slow running computer may not show the streaking stars very well)
