Meteor captured (again)!! 🌠
Update: I tried running my script once more to see if I could capture something even more spectacular—and at 03:30 in the morning, I was rewarded with a monster! 🌠 This time, the meteor was streaking across the southeastern sky, just below the Moon. 🌝 This was the first time I managed to record a video of such an event, something I've dreamed of since my first encounter with a meteor over 15 years ago!
This meteor was flying over the southeastern sky, right below the Moon. 🌝 Finally, this time, I also have a video! 🎥 Finally managed to capture this awe-inspiring event on camera!!
Personal Story: Actually, I've seen a meteor of this size (or possibly even larger) with my own eyes before—over 15 years ago in Slovakia! Back then, I was just a kid, but that experience left a lasting impression. From that moment, I knew I wanted to pursue Astronomy as a hobby. So, in a way, that meteor was maybe the spark that ignited my lifelong passion for the cosmos! 🔥
Here is a video footage cut into a short .gif picture 📸
Stellar Exploration: I also did a little check of constellations and space objects around the area where the meteor flew. 🌌 This was a perfect opportunity to map out the night sky and identify key celestial landmarks that were visible during the event.
In the image below, I've annotated the sky with lines and labels indicating the positions of various celestial objects, such as stars, constellations, and even the Moon's position. 🌕 This helps visualize the meteor's trajectory and its relationship to the surrounding stars.
