**The annual Perseid meteor shower has been passing through the night sky across the UK and around the world over the past few nights.**
过去几晚,一年一度的英仙座流星雨划过英国及全球各地的夜空。
**The bright meteors are formed when dust particles fall from the Swift-Tuttle comet and burn up on entering the Earth's atmosphere.**
这些明亮的流星源自斯威夫特-塔特尔彗星脱落的尘埃颗粒,在进入地球大气层时燃烧形成。
**Astronomers at Astro Dog, a small Scarborough-based astronomy company, captured the event from North York Moors National Park at its peak on 13 August.**
8月13日流星雨峰值期间,总部位于斯卡伯勒的小型天文公司"太空狗"的观测团队,在北约克沼泽国家公园成功记录了这一天象。
**To maximise their chances of filming the glittering show, they used a camera with a"very sensitive sensor and a large aperture" which was pointed 45 degrees away from the"radiant point" -"where meteors appear to radiate from".**
为最大限度捕捉这场璀璨演出,他们使用了配备"超高感光传感器和大光圈"的相机,并将镜头对准偏离流星"辐射点"(即流星看似发源的区域)45度的方向。
**There's still a chance to catch a glimpse or a video of the Perseids as they will be active until 24 August, according to Astro Dog.**
"太空狗"团队表示,观测者仍有机会欣赏或拍摄英仙座流星雨,其活跃期将持续至8月24日。
