“Miass River Sunrise” is copyrighted by Marat Ahmetvaleev. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteA serene sunrise over the Miass River in Russia, but the long cloud in the sky tells another story. This vapor trail was left by the Chelyabinsk Meteor, which exploded over the region just hours before this photo was taken. A rare conjunction of natural beauty and a cosmic event.
