Time-exposure showing meteor track & star trails
Meteor track. Nocturnal time-exposure image over trees of a meteor track (top left) among many star trails. The meteor track is longer and brighter than the star trails. Meteors originate as tiny interplanetary dust grains travelling between 35 and 95 km/s. As a meteor falls to Earth it burns up. The meteors path can be seen as a streak of light known as a shooting star. This meteor is a Perseid. Perseids appear in great numbers around the 12th of August when the Earth crosses a band of dust called the meteor stream. Star trails are made by the movement of the stars through the sky as the Earth rotates. Photographed in Finland

Cosmology Falling Star Meteor Shooting Star Star Trails Trail
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This time-exposure print captures the mesmerizing beauty of a meteor track and star trails against a backdrop of towering trees. In the top left corner, a brilliant streak of light cuts through the darkness, marking the path of a shooting star - a Perseid meteor. These meteors, born from minuscule interplanetary dust grains hurtling through space at astonishing speeds between 35 and 95 km/s, ignite as they enter Earth's atmosphere. The radiant trail left by this particular Perseid meteor is longer and brighter than the surrounding star trails that adorn the night sky. Star trails are formed by the apparent movement of stars as our planet rotates on its axis. As we gaze upon this image captured in Finland, we witness nature's celestial dance frozen in time. Perseids are known to grace our skies abundantly around August 12th when Earth crosses paths with a band of cosmic debris called the meteor stream. This phenomenon creates an awe-inspiring spectacle for stargazers worldwide. Through this remarkable photograph, Science Photo Library invites us to marvel at both the fleeting brilliance of shooting stars and the enduring majesty of star trails painted across our nocturnal canvas. It serves as a reminder that even amidst life's constant motion and change, there is timeless wonder waiting to be discovered in every corner of our vast universe.
