Perseid Meteor Shower 2021 by Jeff Sullivan (https://ift.tt/1cpZOga) On the second best night of the 2021 Perseid meteor shower, one night before peak, we had some luck in this location in Nevada, despite some wildfire smoke.
I’ll have some time-lapse footage available shortly. https://flic.kr/p/2mhjQJg

Our sun is entering into a sleepy state of inactivity— a recurring phenomenon known as Solar Minimum.
A period of minimal solar activity, during which the surface solar movement diminishes, resulting in a trough in solar eruptions and coronal mass ejections (CME) activities. Though it is a period of (relative) calm for the otherwise seething ball of energy, it doesn't hold any consequence(s) for us, as Earthlings. Sun, as we know it, will remain the same.
