在4月24日凌晨,这颗明亮的天琴座流星沿着银河系中心闪烁。在那一刻,它在中国云南省的年湖上投下了明亮的倒影。一年一度的天琴座流星雨,是已知最古老的流星雨之一,在四月底活跃,当我们美丽的星球穿过长周期的撒切尔彗星轨道上留下的尘埃时。明亮的火球的轨迹指向天琴座的流星雨的辐射点,位于春季北部天空的高处,在画面的顶部。在繁星点点的天空中,刚刚升起的三分之一月的光也在平静的湖面上投下了一抹光辉。

In the early hours of April 24 this bright Lyrid meteor flashed along the central Milky Way. For a moment, it cast a bright reflection across Lake Nian, Yunnan province, China. The annual Lyrid meteor shower, one of the oldest known, is active in late April, as our fair planet plows through dust left along the orbit of long-period comet Thatcher. The trail of the bright fireball points back toward the shower's radiant in the constellation Lyra high in the northern springtime sky and off the top of the frame. Just rising in that starry sky, light from a third quarter moon also cast a glow on the peaceful waters of the lake.
