A star selfie with a comet, meteor and my favourite boulder at Rdum il-Vigarju.

Meteors are best seen in a dark, country sky. But sometimes you catch one from a lighted area, too! “Geminid over my neighborhood,” wrote Brotoiu Radu in Breaza, PH, Romania. He caught this meteor around 3 a.m. on the peak morning of the shower, December 14. Canon 5D, Samyang 14mm, F2.8, ISO 3200, 20 sec. Thank you, Brotoiu!
