See it on NASA's siteNear dawn on November 19, the Pleiades star cluster was visible over the French Pyrenees. A three-second exposure captured a bright meteor streak that appeared to pierce the heart of the cluster. From the camera's perspective, the Pleiades and the meteor were poised directly above the Pic du Midi de Bigorre observatory.
