(Eyes at Night)
Explanation:
A cosmic dust grain plowing through
the upper atmosphere much faster than
a falling
leaf
created this brilliant
meteor streak.
In a serendipitous moment, the sublime night sky view was
captured from the resort island of Capri, in the Bay of Naples,
on the evening of February 8.
Looking across the bay, the camera faces northeast toward
the lights of Naples and surrounding cities.
Pointing toward the horizon, the
meteor streak
by chance ends above the silhouette of Mount Vesuvius.
One of planet Earth's most famous volcanos, an eruption of
Mount
Vesuvius
destroyed the city of Pompeii
in
79 AD.
