Telescope domes on Mauna Kea with meteors
Keck I and II with meteors. Composite image representing meteors seen above the Keck I and II telescope domes on Mauna Kea, Hawaii, USA. The optical telescopes of Keck I and II each have a 10 metre diameter mirror, which can be used together to provide more detailed images. Mauna Kea, an extinct volcano 4200 metres high, has several telescopes on its summit. Bright meteors, often called fireballs, occur when particles of dust enter the atmosphere and burn up due to friction with the air.`

EDITORS COMMENTS
This composite image showcases the awe-inspiring sight of meteors streaking across the night sky above the iconic Keck I and II telescope domes on Mauna Kea, Hawaii. Standing tall at an impressive 4200 meters, this dormant volcano serves as a perfect vantage point for observing celestial wonders. The Keck I and II telescopes, equipped with massive 10-meter diameter mirrors, work in tandem to capture incredibly detailed images of distant galaxies, stars, and other astronomical phenomena. These optical marvels are instrumental in advancing our understanding of astrophysics and unraveling the mysteries of the universe. As bright meteors blaze through Earth's atmosphere, they create mesmerizing fireballs that leave us spellbound. This phenomenon occurs when tiny particles of dust collide with air molecules and generate intense frictional heat, resulting in their magnificent incandescence. Mauna Kea's summit hosts several world-renowned observatories due to its pristine location above cloud cover and minimal light pollution. Here, scientists from around the globe converge to explore new frontiers in astronomy while gazing into the depths of space. This remarkable print from Science Photo Library captures both scientific prowess and natural beauty harmoniously intertwined. It serves as a testament to humanity's unyielding curiosity about our place in the cosmos while reminding us of nature's breathtaking spectacle that unfolds every night above Mauna Kea's serene slopes.
