August 12, 2023 - The Perseid meteor shower over the badlands of Dinosaur Provincial Park, in the Red Deer River valley in Alberta, Canada, with the summer sky above filled with about two dozen meteors from the annual shower. The meteors all appear to be streaking away from the radiant point in Perseus at left, below the W of Cassiopeia. The meteor trails are shortest near the radiant point, as at that location they are coming at us head on. The Andromeda Galaxy is near centre. The location is the upper viewpoint near the Park Entrance, and looking northeast. The lights in the valley below are from the campground and service centre. Some bands of green and red airglow tint the sky. Most of the meteor trails nicely demonstrate the green to red transition in their colours as they descend into the atmosphere and burn up. Locations of the meteors are accurate.
