BLACK CRATER, Ore. - Stunning time-lapse footage captured the Perseids meteor shower over a volcano in Oregon on Aug.
7 and it literally looks like a scene from a fantasy movie. The beautiful footage, shot by Mike Cohea, shows the summit of Oregon’s Black Crater volcano as meteors can be seen streaking across the starry sky.
NASA said the 2021 Perseids meteor shower was set to peak this week. "This year, even relatively faint meteors should be visible through clear skies from a dark location as the bright Moon will be mostly absent," the space agency said.
