We're still swooning over the great

images and videos coming in

from this year's Perseid Meteor Shower. Here are a couple of timelapse videos just in today: the first is from

P-M Hedén

showing 25 Perseid meteors, but you can also see Noctilucent clouds, a faint Aurora Borealis, airglow, satellites passing over and lightning. "It was a magic night!," P-M said.

This timelapse was created by

Adam Block

and shows a few hours of the experience guests at the Mount Lemmon SkyCenter had on August 11/12, 2013 during the Perseids: they could look through the 0.8m Schulman telescope and enjoy being outside to see the meteors streaking overhead. Flashlights and other sources illuminate the ground and the observatory.
