The annual Perseid meteor shower was expected to peak for 2016 on August 11 and 12, and stargazers pointed their cameras towards the sky to capture the scene as debris left behind by the Swift-Tuttle comet flashed and burned up in Earth’s atmosphere. This video shows the meteors flashing across the sky over the UK’s Peak District on August 10. Credit: YouTube/Michal Podrucki
