Meteor before Galaxy

COSMIC MESSAGE

While photographing the Andromeda galaxy, a meteor streaked across the field of view. This sand-sized rock from space, likely part of the Perseid shower, glowed green as it entered Earth's atmosphere. It passed in front of our neighboring galaxy, which is millions of light-years away.
