      Explanation: On May 31 tens of parallel meteor streaks were recorded in   
      this 8 degree wide field of view of planet Earth's limb from space. The   
      image is one of a series of 5 minute long observations by the orbiting   
      Yangwang-1 space telescope. It was captured at 03:43 UT, near the peak   
      of the Tau Herculid meteor shower. As predicted, the meteor shower was   
      an active one this year, caused as Earth swept through a relatively   
      dense stream of debris from disintegrating Comet   
      73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3, but was lacking bright meteors. Nearly all   
      of the Tau Herculid meteors in the Yangwang-1 image are too faint to be   
      detected by groundbased instruments. But on that date patient   
      earthbound skywatchers under clear skies still enjoyed a memorable   
      showing of the Tau Herculids.
