Perseids Meteor Shower time-lapse video by me during stargazing in Sunday night 12th August 2018 at Wadi Al-Hitan (Whale Valley).

The Perseids are a prolific meteor shower associated with the comet Swift–Tuttle. The meteors are called the Perseids because the point from which they appear to hail (called the radiant) lies in the constellation Perseus.

Wadi Al-Hitan, Whale Valley, is located in the Western Desert of Egypt. It's clasdified as a World Heritage Center by UNESCO . It contains invaluable fossil remains of the earliest, and now extinct, suborder of whales, Archaeoceti.These fossils represent one of the major stories of evolution: the emergence of the whale as an ocean-going mammal from a previous life as a land-based animal. This is the most important site in the world for the demonstration of this stage of evolution.
