Front Row Seat For A Cosmic Coincidence
Photographer Captures Meteor Streaking Through the Aurora Borealis, PetaPixel
“Photographer Shannon Bileski of Signature Exposures captured this beautiful photograph last Friday at Patricia Beach in Canada. It shows a bright meteor streaking through a sky filled with the green glow of the aurora borealis. Bileski tells us she was out at the beach attempting to witness and photograph the northern lights with others from a photography club and an astronomy club.”
A beautiful shot. Perhaps chance favors the prepared mind. Apparently cloud layers block both the light from the meteor and the aurora, causing the flashes of the meteor to overlay the layers of the aurora.
Every day the universe shows us something we’ve never seen before. That is just fantastic.
Thanks, Keith. So much talk about nuts and bolts, so little about the awe about us.
