Astronaut Photographs Perseid Meteor — From Space

astroengine writes "As the Perseid meteor shower begins to subside, there is one observer who was perfectly positioned to take a photograph where the skies are guaranteed to be clear from cloud. NASA astronaut Ron Garan — who is currently living aboard the International Space Station (ISS) as part of Expedition 27 — captured this stunning photograph of a Perseid out of the ISS window."

I could get a photo like that if I were an astronaut too. But really, bravo, excellent.

Is that the moon in the background?

We like to call that The Earth.
