The Perseids from this meteor shower are pieces of the comet Sift-Tuttle which orbits the Sun only ONCE every 133 years\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Wow! This passing shower also passes WAY beyond Pluto’s orbit. Oh, the universe we live in and all its glory.<\/span><\/p>\n

This yearly occurrence can be seen, quite clearly, in a moonless sky with almost 100 meteors visible in an hour, according to Khaleej Times.<\/span><\/p>\n
