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 B 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
