Meteor showers are pouring down like rain in the night sky. It is the Kappa Cygnid meteor shower. Meteors are tiny dust or particles that glow brightly for a moment when they collide with the Earth's atmosphere. There are more meteors when Earth passes through the orbits of comets or asteroids, which is called a meteor shower.

The Kappa Cygnid meteor shower is best observed in August. To capture the meteor shower, shooting took place over 12 years from 2012 to 2024. The photo showcases the beach at Elafonissi in Greece, beautifully decorating the night sky.
