下一颗流星会出现在哪里?即使在流星雨期间,也几乎不可能知道。因此,欣赏流星雨的一个好方法是找一个你可以舒适地坐着的地方,观察一大片黑暗的天空。与朋友分享这种经历可能会令人满意。这幅流星雨描绘的是2022年的狮子座流星雨,它在本月早些时候达到了顶峰,从中国海南俯瞰南海。在几个小时内捕获的流星条纹被分离出来,并添加到之前记录的前景图像中。从这个地点和时间,可以追溯到狮子座的狮子座流星被看到划过包括猎户座在内的其他星座。明亮的红色火星出现在图像的顶部附近。由于对天文学的热爱,这两位流星爱好者在本月庆祝了他们共同的生日,现在他们结婚了。

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.
