    I know I’m being pedantic but aren’t all pictures of meteors by accident?

      They’re not necessarily accidental (for example, taking long exposures during a meteor shower), but yes the vast majority of meteor pictures are by chance. A few meteors have been detected just before entry and photographed but that number is in the single digits.

        Also it’s mentioned for emphasis. It may seem obvious but it’s worth pointing out.

      I don’t understand why they call it an “accident”. The camera was set up and taking timed pictures. I just don’t think “accident” is accurate

    One of the coolest photos I’ve ever seen. I like mountains amid the human development too

    Must’ve had a lot of copper in that asteroid.

      Probably nickel and/or salts of barium. Copper burns blue as a pyrotechnic colorant.

        Depending on the salt you can make both blue and green. Copper sulphate flame test is a pretty common school lab practical isn’t it?

      A lot of spaceship debris looks like this because copper is used in a lot of rocket engines.

    Looks like the Skunkworks guys finally figure out how to build a Deathstar laser.
