NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“Leonids Over Monument Valley” is copyrighted by Sean M. Sabatini. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

In 2001, the Leonids meteor shower put on a spectacular display over Monument Valley. This composite image captures the event, with meteors appearing to streak from a single point in the sky. Earth was passing through a dense trail of debris left by Comet Tempel-Tuttle, causing meteor rates to reach nearly one per second.
