Explanation: Does the Earth ever pass through a wind of meteors? Yes, and they are frequently visible as meteor showers. Almost all meteors are sand-sized debris that escaped from a Sun-orbiting comet or asteroid, debris that continues in an elongated orbit around the Sun. Circling the same Sun, our Earth can move through an orbiting debris stream, where it can appear, over time, as a meteor wind. The meteors that light up in Earth's atmosphere, however, are usually destroyed. Their streaks, though, can all be traced back to a single point on the sky called the radiant. The featured image composite was taken over two days in late July near the ancient Berber village Zriba El Alia in Tunisia, during the peak of the Southern Delta Aquariids meteor shower. The radiant is to the right of the image. A few days ago our Earth experienced the peak of a more famous meteor wind -- the Perseids.

COOL! It looks like a scene from a science fiction movie!
Day of the Triffids, by John Wyndham.
I read that book and later saw the movie! DON’T LOOK AT THE METEORS!
We’re just passing through the tails of asteroid or comet debris. The earth comes swinging around, then crosses their orbit path, peppering us with ejected material or debris. Those objects don’t have atmospheres to protect them like earth has.
Nice!
Wow!! Amazing!! no, not the picture, the fact that they are following the exact same path of multiple meteors!! just how can there be exactly 3 meteors in a row 8 times?? I’m truly amazed!! /s
They aint gettin any better mc...
it would only make sense is if there were 3 different pics pulled from a vid milliseconds apart. only way. but the explanation doesnt say it.
“Light your farts!” they were saying. “We’re outdoors and there’s nothing that can catch on fire around here!”
“You guys,” I said, “don’t you remember what happened last time?!”
“I’ll let you eat the rest of my bean’n’cheese sour cream burrito from Gordito’s,” someone said.
“Everybody stand back,” I said.
My question is how the guy got a spiral galaxy, seen at the 2 o’clock position of the pic.
I think meteor showers will emanate out of one particular direction depending on the angle earth crosses paths with the debris field or tail of the object..
generally the case, but as stated, the same exact trajectory 8 times from top, down to the rocks? lol... the only way this pic is possible is if they pulled multiple snapshots of a high speed video, catching still images of one meteor 3 times on its path.
and then photoshopping the 3 images together...
I wasn’t referring to how much the data was manipulated by whoever processed the image. I was referring to these objects, “Meteor Showers”, coming out of one particular direction in the sky. They even predict with great accuracy which direction before the event occurs.
From the article...”The featured image composite was taken over two days in late July”.
That looks like Andromeda galaxy. Close and not hard to photograph. In some dark locations it is visible with the naked eye.
I was...
