NASA Time-Lapsed Video of Meteors Hitting Earth's Atmosphere



 God created us to enjoy His wonders in the heavens! Exodus 15:11, "“Who is like You, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like You, glorious in holiness, Fearful in praises, doing wonders?" Psalm 19:1-4, "The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. 2 Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge. 3 There is no speech nor language Where their voice is not heard. 4 Their line[a] has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun."

We’ve done several stories of meteorites caught on camera streaking across the sky as they fall to Earth or rare finds of the space rocks worth $20,000. But here’s a new one: video of a meteor shower before the rocks ever enter Earth’s atmosphere.

NASA describes the footage as “revealing breathtaking images of Earth at night with meteors ablating — or burning up — in the atmosphere.” Check out the time-lapsed video:

What are those “brilliant purplish-white bubbles of light” — as described by Space.com? According to NASA, it’s lightening.
