This meteor flashed through around 2AM this morning. While it appears to be “in” the Milky Way, it is well to remember that the meteor is very close to Earth, actually burning up IN our atmosphere, while the Milky Way is (almost) unimaginably distant.
For extra credit: why do we see more meteors AFTER midnight, than before?

This is a composite of about fifty 30-second exposures. A departing car painted the antenna red (I used considerable Photoshop layer masking to get this final effect). Also, that’s a meteor at top right…
