Streaks of light from the Perseid meteor shower delighted stargazers as they danced across Balkan skies overnight on Sunday, 13 August.<br /><br />The meteor shower occurs when Earth passes through the debris trail from the comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle, according to Nasa.<br /><br />Bright streaks of light illuminate the sky as particles left behind by the comet interact with the atmosphere.<br /><br />People hoping to catch a glimpse of the spectacle camped out on Lastovo island off Croatia.<br /><br />“It is really impressive to see, especially because the Milky Way is now visible together with the stars”, said Mario Cuvelic, a visitor from Split.
