Good morning, Rallypoint. Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) is titled "Mars and Meteor over Jade Dragon Snow Mountain." We travel today to the Yulong (Jade Dragon) mountain range in Yunnan province, southwestern China. Before us lies the Yulong Snow Mountain, and above us is the planet Mars. The Leonids get their name from the location of their radiant in the constellation Leo: the meteors appear to radiate from that point in the sky. The meteor shower is associated with debris left from the passage of Tempel-Tuttle, a comet with an orbital period of 33 years. It was independently discovered by Wilhelm Tempel on December 19, 1865, and by Horace Parnell Tuttle on January 6, 1866. We will see Tempel-Tuttle again in 2031.

APOD Background:
"Explanation: A brilliant yellowish celestial beacon, Mars still dazzles in the night. Peering between clouds the wandering planet was briefly joined by the flash of a meteor in this moonless dark sky on November 18. The single exposure was taken as the Earth swept up dust from periodic comet Tempel-Tuttle during the annual Leonid Meteor Shower. The view of a rugged western horizon looks along the Yulong mountain range in Yunnan province, southwestern China. Yulong (Jade Dragon) Snow Mountain lies below the clouds and beyond the end of the meteor streak."
