Matterhorn, Switzerland
Here in the Alps, with the pyramid-like Matterhorn looming in the background, visitors who linger after sundown can see a host of stars and planets. If you’re in the Northern Hemisphere tonight, make an attempt to get away from the light pollution caused by artificial light—though you don’t have to trek to the Matterhorn—and gaze skyward. The Perseid meteor shower will graze the Earth’s atmosphere for one final night, putting on a spectacular show.
