RAINBOW METEOR STREAKS OVER STONEHENGE

 RAINBOW METEOR STREAKS OVER STONEHENGE 

A brilliant fireball appears to cut across the heart of the Milky Way, leaving behind a glowing trail that seems to split into rainbow colors above the ancient stones. While meteors can create bright streaks as they burn up in Earth’s atmosphere, a perfectly multicolored “rainbow beam” like this is usually the result of camera effects, long exposure blending, or digital enhancement rather than something the human eye would see this vividly.

The Milky Way’s dense star clouds rising behind Stonehenge are very real though .. the monument was aligned with the sky by ancient builders, and under dark conditions you can see the galaxy stretching overhead in a breathtaking arc.
