Spiral Meteor through the Heart Nebula
NASA APOD · Roger N. Clark
COSMIC MESSAGE
This meteor appears to be going through the Heart Nebula, but it is actually in Earth's atmosphere. The unusually short and asymmetric train may indicate that the sand-sized grain at the center of the glow is spinning as it ablates, causing its path to be slightly spiral. Taken last month, this meteor is likely from the Perseid meteor shower.
