Perseid Showers Seen From Madrid
Perseid shower seen from the Sierra de Guadarrama, on August 12, 2024, in Buitrago de Lozoya, Madrid, Spain. The Perseids, popularly known as the tears of San Lorenzo because their peak usually coincides with the festivities of this saint, are a prolific annual meteor shower during the months of July and August. The meteors are released from the tail of a comet that passes every 130 years around the sun and that, at this time of the year, coincides with the orbit of the Earth.
