A composite of the 2017 Geminid meteor shower, from the peak night of December 13, with the radiant in Gemini, at centre, rising in the northeast at the beginning of the night. Meteors are streaking from the radiant point above Castor in Gemini, with meteor streaks longer the farther they were from the radiant point. The Milky Way runs diagonally across the frame, from Auriga, at top, to Canis Minor, at bottom. Taken from southeast Arizona, USA, looking northeast, toward the nearby towns of Lordsburg and Deming, New Mexico adding the sky glows.
