The bright meteor flashing through this night skyscape from 2013 August 7 is part of the annual Perseid meteor shower in August. In the direction indicated by the colorful streak, the shower's radiant in the eponymous constellation Perseus is at the upper right. At the far right the Pleiades star cluster is visible. Named for its pose against the sky, the monastery built on the daunting sandstone cliffs in the foreground is part of Meteora. A World Heritage site, Meteora is a historic complex of lofty monasteries located near Kalabaka in central Greece.
