The Perseids, as in the old ages! ✨🌠

Along with 2 nights in the White Desert of Egypt and 1300 photographs, we enjoyed, observed, and captured the most famous meteor shower, the Perseids. Glowing and glorified in the photo πŸ’«

This time, we used sophisticated equipment known as the Astrolabe: all generations' computer!

In mankind's golden ages, humans have done their stargazing nights just as in the photo!
