Stunning astrophotography image of Comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner gracefully positioned between the Rosette Nebula (upper left) and the Cone Nebula (lower right). The comet's debris causes the annual Draconid meteor shower, peaking tonight. While meteor rates are unpredictable, this year offers optimal viewing conditions due to a nearly absent moon.
