[APML] A sad Time best picture

["Mike Cook, AF9Y" <mwcook@concentric.net>]

Browsing the special issue of Time's 2002 best pictures I noticed the
full page "Perseids shower" image.  The problem is that there is not
a single Perseids meteor in the picture.  It is nothing more than a
poorly focus star field with trailing and a foreground of people
appearing to watch the "event".  On top of that, the sky background
was yellow green.

It saddens me that this image should be chosen when so many great
images have been posted in this and other astro mailing groups.
