See Explanation.  Clicking on the picture will download the highest resolution version available.This was an amazing picture of one of the many meteors that rained down from heaven during the Geminid meteor shower. This picture was taken at Mt. Balang, China. It gives off a picturesque surrounding. The foreground are clouds that look like a sea. This picture almost looks edited based on the fantasy like characteristics of it. This picture has orians belt and some of orion. It also contains Sirius. Which is in fact the brightest star of the night. the meteor looks like its tearing through the work making a new dimension. However that big slit is actually just a tiny pebble falling through earth's atmosphere. The pebbel was originally expelled by the sun-orbiting asteroid-like object 3200 Phaethon.
