This is an amazing photograph of a bright green meteor over Mettupalayam in South India, taken by molecular ecologist and photographer Prasenjeet Yadav. ✨

IT IS REALLY hard to photograph a meteor. Even though some 25 million of them hurtle toward Earth each day, most of them are too small to track. Those you can see are tough to spot during the day, and most people are sleeping when they streak across the sky at night. But Prasenjeet Yadav managed to get one anyway, entirely by accident. ☄️

“Different chemicals in the meteors produce different colors as they burn up while entering the Earth’s atmosphere,”
