    Perseid Meteor Shower

     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     Gaustatroll watched the sky overhead light up with meteors as a field of sixty to seventy meteors passed over him in Stavsro, Norway, on August 11 and 12. He says several meteors looked like large fireballs. 'It was an amazing sight in the dark skies above one's head,' he said. He was inspired to watch the meteor shower because of his childhood interest in astronomy. 'It became one of my favorite hobbies together with photography,' he said.
    - Jareen, CNN iReport producer
