Perseid Meteor on 08-12-2024
Here is a nice one…the original wider angle image shows Cassiopeia and Perseus constellations rising in the Northeastern sky above my backyard observatory dome.
And the second close-up image of the Perseid Meteor.
The color of a meteor depends on its chemical composition.
Note the nice colors in my close-up shot of this Perseid Meteor.
Some common meteor colors are: Orange-yellow (sodium), Yellow (iron), Blue-green (magnesium), Violet (calcium), and Red (atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen).
These are the typical colors of meteors as they burn up entering the Earth’s atmosphere, with the meteors moving at an average speed of 133,200 mph (214,365 kph).
