Perseids Shine Over Al-Ula Sky
The sky over Al-Ula province witnessed the appearance of the Perseid meteor shower, an annual astronomical phenomenon that recurs in August. It is known for the appearance of a large number of bright meteors, reaching 75-100 meteors per hour at its peak. The shower originates from dust debris left by the comet "Swift-Tuttle," which crosses Earth's orbit, causing the particles to enter the atmosphere at high speeds and ignite. The phenomenon was clearly visible from Gharamil Preserve due to optimal observing conditions, such as low light pollution and dark skies, highlighting the area's significant role in astrophotography tourism and the preservation of the night environment.
