                        Astronomy Picture of the Day

    Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our
      fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation
                    written by a professional astronomer.

                              2022 November 28
   The featured image is a composite showing many meteors trails streaking
     across a sky featuring the familiar constellation of Orion. In the
     foreground two people sit in adjoining chairs facing away from the
    camera, one holding a wand with a glowing star at the end. Please see
               the explanation for more detailed information.

   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.
