Ever wondered what it looks like to see a meteoroid strike earth from space?
Well, wonder no more! One of the International Space Station's astronauts caught a meteoroid hitting the atmosphere on video.
Thanks to Travel + Leisure for posting the video.
About the video, they wrote:
Sure, you may have visited more countries than your friends, experienced more cultures than most, and eaten meals with names that you can’t even pronounce. But have you ever seen a meteor crash into Earth… from space?
European Space Agency astronaut Paolo Nespoli has, and he has the footage to prove it.
The ESA pieced together Nespoli’s footage taken while aboard the International Space Station and made it into a stunning timelapse video for all of us here on terra firma to enjoy. The minute and a half video shows the Earth from above as the Space Station flew over the southern Atlantic Ocean over to Kazakhstan.
