I love looking at NASA's astronomy picture of the day website and though I don't visit it on a daily basis I go to it quite regularly. Yesterday was not one of these days and I looked back today to see an absolutely miraculous image. This picture has it all, a comet (Comet Machholz), a meteor (from the Geminids), a nebula (in this case the rather red looking Orion nebula) and finally lots of stars (in particular the lovely Sirius is bright). Here it is in its true glory: (Image Credit: Wally Pacholka (Astropics))
