Artwork of meteor shower over a city
Meteor shower. Illustration of a meteor shower over a city at night. Meteor showers are caused by microscopic dust particles that enter the Earths atmosphere and ignite due to air resistance, producing streaks of light. They occur at the same time each year, when the Earth crosses the orbit of a comet and collides with its debris. The particles travel in parallel trails but due to a perspective effect seem to radiate from one point, which is called the radiant. This effect is illustrated here by comparison with the citys converging streets

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork captures the mesmerizing beauty of a meteor shower illuminating the night sky above a bustling city. The illustration showcases the phenomenon of meteor showers, which occur when tiny dust particles enter Earth's atmosphere and ignite due to air resistance, creating stunning streaks of light. As our planet crosses the orbit of a comet and collides with its debris each year, these parallel trails of particles converge in one radiant point. This perspective effect is brilliantly depicted by comparing it to the converging streets of the cityscape below. The image not only celebrates this celestial event but also highlights humanity's connection with the cosmos. It reminds us that even amidst urban landscapes, we are part of something much larger and awe-inspiring. With its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, this artwork from Science Photo Library invites viewers into an enchanting world where science meets artistry. It sparks curiosity about astronomy and cosmology while showcasing how scientific concepts can be beautifully translated into visual form. Whether displayed in homes or educational spaces, this print serves as a constant reminder that there is always more to explore beyond our earthly boundaries – both within ourselves and in the vast expanse of space above us.
