The meteor glows like a fireball in the English sky
Motion sensor camera captures the moment when a giant meteor flashes in the blink of an eye as it shatters the night sky.
Amateur astronomer Derek Robson, 58, does not believe his eyes when he is fortunate to record the scene of a giant shooting star shining in the night sky near Bristol, southwest England, Archynety yesterday reported. The fireball in the blink of an eye tore through the night and was the brightest object in the sky at that time.
The fireball in the blink of an eye tore through the night and was the brightest object in the sky at that time.
The breathtaking spectacle appeared at 5:07 am on November 10 local time, when Robson and most people were deep asleep. The lucky moment entered the lens of a motion sensor camera that Robson installed in the garden at his home in Loughborough.
"Normally, my camera only recorded things like airplanes and birds. This scene made me unable to believe my eyes. I jumped in joy , " Robson said. "Light streaks appear on the Orion constellation, my favorite constellation and my late father. So I feel like I just threw a shooting star at me."
Dr. Robert Massey, Deputy Executive Director of the Royal Astronomical Society of England confirmed the fireball created by a meteorite."Meteors move faster than the speed of bullets when they rush into the atmosphere and quickly burn, " Massey said. Large and individual shooting stars are often difficult to predict, so viewers who need luck in the right place at the right time can see this scene.
