Accidentally Captured Meteor Footage

This footage of a meteor was accidentally captured by a photographer, when the shutter wasn’t even on focus. Prasanjeet Yadav, the photographer of this perfect moment, captured such a rare scene that he couldn’t believe with his own eyes. Meteors are hard to catch with the eye as they’re quite small in view or they usually happen to fall at night, after bedtime for most of us.

As a child, Yadav was always interested in wildlife. Perhaps, that’s what made him choose molecular biology as his profession. He is from Nagpur, India. Thanks to this profession, he can study on animals from close range. 


In fact, that night he took the picture of the meteor, he was out to photograph wildlife. Later, he consulted with astronomers, they approved that he caught a meteor.
