Meteor over lake
Meteor. Optical image of a meteor track (upper right) in the night sky and reflected in a lake. A meteor, or shooting star, is a tiny particle of dust that enters the Earths atmosphere from space at a speed that can range from 35-95 kilometres per second. Air resistance heats the particle, making it visible as a streak of light. The glow of an aurora (solar-induced electromagnetic storm) is seen on the horizon. Photographed in Finland

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of a meteor streaking across the night sky over a serene lake in Finland. The optical image showcases the upper right portion of the meteor track, as it illuminates the darkness with its brilliant light. A shooting star, or meteor, is formed when a minuscule particle of dust from outer space enters Earth's atmosphere at an astonishing speed ranging from 35 to 95 kilometers per second. As this celestial visitor encounters air resistance during its descent, it heats up and becomes visible as a luminous streak against the backdrop of stars. Adding to the enchantment of this scene is the faint glow of an aurora borealis on the horizon – evidence of a solar-induced electromagnetic storm creating ethereal colors in Earth's polar regions. The reflection of both meteor and auroral glow on the calm surface of the lake adds another layer to this already breathtaking composition. Silhouetted trees along the shoreline frame this magical moment, while also emphasizing Finland's natural beauty and high latitude location. This remarkable photograph not only highlights nature's wonders but also serves as a reminder that even tiny particles can create awe-inspiring spectacles when they encounter our planet's atmosphere.
