    A commentary on the recent Leonid meteor shower, this illustration shows a young man and a woman sitting on a rooftop on a clear and cold night. Their passion for astronomy is evidently so great that they are willing to endure these conditions to observe the meteors that dart across the star-filled sky above them.
