Paradise’s Peaceful Night

A photograph of the night sky from Hawaii. In the top left, the constellation of Orion shines brightly. Orion’s hunting dog, Canis Major, trails behind above the palm trees on the left. On the right side, you will notice a shooting star intersecting Canopus above a palm tree peacefully swaying in the ocean breeze.
