It really is quite amazing to think that we are hurtling through space and we don't notice it. That the Earth keeps on spinning and revolving around the Sun and we never really know... all we do notice is that the constellations move across the sky.
The Perseids are simply a debris field that we are passing through, doesn't sound so wonderful as a meteor shower... But we pass through this debris field left by the comet Swift-Tuttle at the same point on our orbit of the Sun every year. This is why we see the meteor shower at the same time every year.
