COSMIC MESSAGE

Fireballs are meteors that are brighter than Venus in the night sky. This image captures one such event over Hannover, Germany. The meteor briefly outshone the stars of Orion, which are visible on the far right. These bright flashes occur when space rocks enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up.
