A breathtaking composite night sky image showing dozens of bright meteors streaking across the Milky Way above a calm sea. The meteors appear to radiate from the area near the star Kappa Cygni. The foreground shows the dark silhouette of Elafonisi Beach in Crete, Greece, while the Milky Way arches overhead with vibrant detail. The image combines exposures from 51 August nights across 12 years, highlighting the long-term beauty of the Kappa Cygnid meteor shower.

Most people chase the Perseids. But this?
Twelve years of patient captures from the faint Kappa Cygnid meteor shower — just a few meteors per hour — stacked into one stunning sky above Crete.
