The Perseid meteor shower is also called the Tears of Saint Lorenz. I wonder what Saint Lorenz is.

It is called "Tears of Saint Laurent".

August 10 is a holiday in Saint Laurent in the west, so the Perseid meteor shower is called "Tears of Saint Laurent" in the west.

In ancient Greek mythology, Poerxiusi was the incarnation of the hero Poerxiusi. Poerxiusi is the son of Zeus. Athena, the goddess of wisdom, asked him to try to get the head of the banshee Medusa (every hair of Medusa is a poisonous snake, and anyone who looks at it will turn to stone), and promised to elevate him to heaven afterwards. Poerxiusi fought Medusa with the shield given to him by the goddess of wisdom. Finally, he took off her head and rode a flying horse out of danger. On the way back, Medusa turned the sea monster into a stone with her head, rescued Princess Moda of Andlau (the patron saint of Moda of Andlau) and married the princess. Finally, he dedicated Medusa's head to the goddess of wisdom. Athena fulfilled her promise, promoted Poerxiusi to heaven and gave him a glorious throne-Poerxiusi. Poerxiusi is still holding Medusa's head in the sky, and his heroic spirit is pressing.

Perseus is one of the most beautiful constellations near the Milky Way. In the starry sky, Perseus is close to Andromeda and Cassiopeia (the princess's mother). This vast starry sky tells this famous Greek fairy tale.

NGG869 and NGG884 represent Perseus' right hand waving a sword; The beta star Perseus (Daling V) represents Medusa's head and is held in Perseus's left hand.

Perseid meteor shower is one of the seven famous popular rains, which occurs from July 17 to August 24 every year. It is not only rich, but also almost never misses the starry sky in summer.

It is said that the Holy Spirit of Laurent sowed the seeds of hope. Her last tear must be a wish, and everyone who sees him can gain something after making a wish.

"Tears" is indeed an apt metaphor. Just like a lady, when the whole world is asleep, a person is quietly and silently sad. I shed a string of tears from time to time, but I didn't cry. I only saw two meteors streaking across the sky at the same time. When I can't help it, I will also drop a big hot tear and cross the sky brightly with long tears. Even after a second or two, you can still see the traces that have disappeared, but the number is very small.
