Leonid meteors light up night sky in Spain

Lenoid meteors, streaking past stars, light the night sky in the northern Spanish town of Talamillo del Tozo, in the early hours of August 12, 2005. The Perseid meteor shower is sparked every August when the Earth passes through a stream of space debris left by Comet Swift-Tuttle, and is clearly visible to the naked eye in several parts of the Middle East and Asia.
