Astronaut Paolo Nespoli caught a unique sight from the International Space Station (ISS) while moving above the Atlantic on November 5, Outer Places reported."We saw many meteorites from the ISS station but I never saved them with the camera. This time I was fortunate to record a fireball, or a meteorite and rushed down to Earth , " Nespoli said.

This may be a meteorite of a few tens of centimeters in size moving at about 144,000 km / h, according to expert European Space Agency (ESA) Rüdiger Jehn and Detlef Koschny. Meanwhile, such meteorites often enter the atmosphere at half the speed.

At the end of the video, another flash of light also flashed in the upper right corner. Koschny thinks it might be Venus. The sight of flashes appeared on bright thunderclouds and bright city lights when the ISS station flew over South Africa also made many viewers excited.


The meteorite appeared at 0:08 and another flash flashed at 1:14 in the upper right corner. (Video: ESA).
