Explanation:
Where will the next meteor appear?
Even during a meteor shower, it is practically impossible to know.
Therefore, a good way to enjoy a
meteor shower is to find a place where you can
sit comfortably and monitor a great expanse of dark sky.
And it may be satisfying to share this experience with a friend.
The meteor shower depicted was the 2022
Leonids which peaked earlier this month, and the view is from
Hainan,
China looking out over the
South China Sea.
Meteor streaks captured over a few hours were isolated and added to a foreground
image recorded earlier.
From this place and time,
Leonid meteors that
trace back to the
constellation of Leo
were seen streaking across
other constellations including
Orion.
The bright red planet
Mars appears near the top of the image.
Bonding
over their love of astronomy, the two pictured meteor enthusiasts, shown celebrating
their
common
birthday this month, are now married.
