Last week, this fireball, captured at Deadwood Beach in Cape San Blas, Florida, is a very rare bright meteor that is brighter than Venus and sometimes even brighter than a full moon. It is a phenomenon where small rocks, having broken off from asteroids or comets, rapidly pass through the Earth's atmosphere, leaving behind a smoky trail as they burn up. Most of it evaporates in the atmosphere without causing significant impact, but for those who witnessed it, it is an impressive display of nature that remains memorable for a lifetime.
