APOD 2.6

Today I am writing about the Leonids Meteor Shower. Not only can many meteors from the meteor shower be seen but the way the stars orbit in the sky can also be seen very easily in this picture. They make a very interesting pattern in the sky and the circumpolar stars make a complete circle over the course of the night. Because the meteors can be seen in combination with the path of the stars this picture appears very amazing and is why I chose to write about it.
