                        Astronomy Picture of the Day

    Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our

                    written by a professional astronomer.

                                2025 June 14

   Explanation: What are all those streaks in the sky? A galaxy, many
   satellite trails, and a few meteors. First, far in the distance, the
   majestic band of our Milky Way Galaxy runs down the left. Mirroring it
   on the right are several parallel trails of Earth-orbiting Starlink
   satellites. Many fainter satellite trails also crisscross the image.
   The two short and bright streaks are meteors CÇö likely members of the
   annual Eta Aquariids meteor shower. The planet Venus shines on the
   lower right. Venus and the satellites shine by reflected sunlight. The
   featured picture is a composite of exposures all taken in a few hours
   on May 4 over the Limay River in Argentina.
