Be on the lookout for this giant, colorful, once-in-a-lifetime super meteor
What fun, to realize we could be surprised by such a cool “thing”.
Of course there are precious few pictures because who is ready when they spot this once in a lifetime unpredictable event? Even Emily!
Thanks for teaching us of something else to be aware of.
Images of fireballs are often captured incidentally by security cameras and the dash cams of cars.
