Meteor, artwork
Meteor. Computer artwork of a meteor entering an alien planets atmosphere. Meteors are pieces of dust and rock which are heated by friction as they enter the atmosphere, causing them to appear as streaks of light. Large meteors, such as this one, can survive their passage through the atmosphere and hit the ground, at which point they are known as meteorites

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Meteor" takes us on a visual journey into the depths of space. The computer artwork showcases an awe-inspiring moment as a meteor hurtles through the atmosphere of an alien planet. As this cosmic rock enters the foreign world, it generates intense heat due to friction, resulting in a magnificent display of streaking light. Meteors are fascinating natural phenomena composed of dust and rock fragments that often disintegrate upon entering Earth's atmosphere. However, this particular meteor is massive enough to withstand its fiery descent and make impact with the ground below, transforming into a meteorite. The intricate details captured in this illustration highlight the sheer power and beauty inherent in these celestial events. Flames engulf the meteor as it blazes through space, leaving behind trails of fire and burning debris. It serves as a reminder of the potential destructive force that such impacts can have on our planet. While evoking thoughts of Armageddon or extinction events, this artwork also sparks curiosity about our universe's vastness and complexity. With its combination of scientific accuracy and artistic interpretation, Science Photo Library has once again delivered an extraordinary piece that invites viewers to ponder humanity's place within the cosmos.
