The biggest meteor shower of the year, Perseid, lit up the night sky on 12 August until dawn the next day.  Despite the sometimes cloudy conditions caused by the super storm Utor out in the East Sea, Da Nang’s astronomy lovers had a unique opportunity to watch the meteor shower, which they said “looked like a natural fireworks display”.

Danang Today would like to share with our readers some photos, taken by photographer Khan G Nguyen from the Ho Chi Minh City Amateur Astronomy Club, which reflect the sparkling beauty of the meteor display.
