It’s a display that many people dream of seeing, and now a meteor shower has been snapped alongside two other stunning astronomical features.
Photographer Vincent Duparc has snapped an incredible image of the Quadrantids meteor shower, as well as the Big Dipper and Comet Wirtanen.
NASA has featured the image, which was taken in La Palma, as its Astronomy Photo of the Day.
The space agency explained: “The featured image composite was taken during January's Quadrantid meteor shower from La Palma, one of Spain's Canary Islands, off the northwest coast of Africa.

Meteor showers occur when dust and debris move through space and enter the Earth’s atmosphere, where they burn up, producing a streak of light.
NASA added: “The meteor paths are all parallel to each other, but, like train tracks, the effect of perspective causes them to appear to originate from a radiant point in the distance.”
