Perseid meteor shower: Meteors shoot across Minnesota sky in celestial spectacle

Footage has been captured of the Perseid meteor shower moving through the night's sky in the early hours of Thursday morning. The video, captured by Fox 9 photojournalist Greg Kellogg in Minnesota, shows several quick flashes as the meteors move through the atmosphere. Viewers of the meteor shower, which takes place from mid-July to late August, can watch more than 40 meteors an hour at the peak of the shower - a statistic which has led to it being considered one of the best and most visible showers of the year.
