Meteor Falls to 🌎Earth from an Astronaut's POV

Astronaut Paolo Nespoli happened to catch such a sight while looking down at the Earth from the International Space Station, recording video of a fireball very briefly whizzing by while the ISS passed over the Atlantic Ocean.

It's a short moment, almost at a "blink and you'll miss it" level, but that's why it's so rare to catch this sort of thing on camera - that, and we only have so many astronauts up in orbit to take photos. But it's worth a watch.

Since Nespoli wanted to play a game and see if viewers down on Earth could spot it themselves, he doesn't say when in the video it pops up. So if you want to test whether you can find it on your own, we're saving the timestamp of when the meteor appears for after the video.

So check that if you don't want to play, and just want to see the fireball. The fireball in question is onscreen very briefly, at 0:08 seconds into the video in the top right corner.
