A once-in-a-million cosmic intercept... ☄️🤯

I was tracking the Triangulum Galaxy (M33) at 4:25 AM when this blazing green streak sliced right through my telescope’s lens. At first glance, it looks like a standard satellite photobombing the frame. But here is why that’s physically impossible! 🛰️❌

At 4:25 AM, the Sun was buried so deep below the horizon that Earth was casting a massive shadow over 1,100 kilometers high into space. Any satellite passing overhead was completely blocked from the Sun—meaning they were sitting in total, pitch-black darkness and couldn’t reflect any light down to us! 🌑❌

Because this plasma trail glows bright electric green and slashes continuously across the entire frame, it proves it was a genuine, self-illuminating piece of ancient comet debris smashing into our atmosphere at hyper-velocity! 🌠💚

The fact that it slashes through the entire frame is insane. Drop a ☄️ if you’ve ever caught a lucky tracking shot like this!
