Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A near-Earth perspective of its orbit (red), the radiant of the Perseid meteor shower, and the orbit of the shower’s parent comet, 109P/Swift-Tuttle, to show their spatial relationships on August 12 00:00 UTC. The Perseid meteor shower is fairly wide (~0.1 AU), filling the frame. Note: the bend in the Earth’s orbit is due to projection distortion.
