Many Vietnamese people excitedly recounted the moment they watched and captured the Perseids meteor shower 'party' in the sky at its peak early this morning, August 13. Let's admire it together.
A large two-color Perseid meteor streak in the sky of Phu Yen early this morning, August 13, was captured by Nguyen Ba Tuyen, Ho Chi Minh City Amateur Astronomy Club (HAAC). To watch the peak of this meteor shower, the HAAC team traveled from Ho Chi Minh City to Quy Nhon and Phu Yen, choosing the ideal location to enjoy the "party" of light in the sky.

Vo Duc Quan, a student in Ninh Phuoc District ( Ninh Thuan ), also spent many hours watching the Perseids meteor shower on the night of its peak. Quan said that because of limited visibility, he could not see many streaks, but it was still an interesting experience to capture the meteors.
