We have already shared with you a stunning time-lapse video of space as seen from the ISS. Today we have another awesome time-lapse to show you; this time it is of a meteor shower over Joshua Tree National Park.

The following video, titled “Ascendance”, is by photographer Henry Jun Wah Leeis. In the video he covers the Perseid meteor shower that took place in August. Before you watch the video, do note the meteor shower appears about half-way through the video — the first half (about 1.5 minutes) is a time-lapse of various nature scenes. So don’t stop viewing just because you aren’t instantly bombarded by meteors. Enjoy!
