Vanishing point or three mutually orthogonal directions can be found. Vanishing point A vanishing point is a point on the image plane of a perspective drawing where the two-dimensional perspective projections (or drawings) of mutually parallel lines in three-dimensional space appear to converge. When the set of parallel lines is perpendicular to a picture plane, the construction is known as one-point perspective, and their vanishing point corresponds to the oculus, or "eye point", from which the image should be viewed for correct perspective geometry. Traditional linear drawings use objects with one to three sets of parallels, defining one to three vanishing points.
Radiant (meteor shower) seen from the perspective of the observer, who views a two-dimensional projection against the sky. The geometric effect is identical to crepuscular rays, where parallel sunbeams appear to converge. A meteor that does not point back to the known radiant for a given shower is known as a "sporadic" and is not considered part of that shower. Shower meteors may appear a short time before the radiant has risen in observer's eastern sky. The radiant in such cases is above the horizon at the meteor's altitude. During the active period of most showers, the radiant moves nearly one degree eastwards,
