Today's image is an animation at the source link
Breathtakingly beautiful animation!
My wonderful daughter was conceived about the time that Comet Swift-Tuttle last swept by the Sun in 1992, and she was born the following August during the Perseid meteor shower. So our family has a special connection to that particular comet and annual meteor event.
Today's APOD animation, all by itself, more than justifies my long-standing place on the APOD Ping List :-)
Thank you MtnClimber!!
