       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.

      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.
