In this 20-second exposure, a meteor streaks across the night sky above trees near Moscow, Idaho, in the early hours of Tuesday, Aug. 14, 2018 during the Perseid Meteor Shower. The annual event can produce dozens of meteors an hour.
A meteor zoomed across the skies of northern Vermont Sunday night traveling at an estimated speed of 42,000 miles per hour, CNN reports.
According to Live Science, the meteor’s explosive journey through the atmosphere released energy equivalent of 440 pounds of TNT, suggesting the space rock likely weighed about 10 pounds and was approximately 6 inches in diameter.
