While the human eye usually cannot discern many colors, cameras often can. Pictured is a Quadrantids meteor captured by camera over Missouri, USA, early this month that was not only impressively bright, but colorful. The radiant grit, likely cast off by asteroid 2003 EH1, blazed a path across Earth&#8217;s atmosphere. Colors in meteors usually originate from ionized elements released as the meteor disintegrates, with blue-green typically originating from magnesium, calcium radiating violet, and nickel glowing green. Red, however, typically originates from energized nitrogen and oxygen in the Earth&#8217;s atmosphere. This bright meteoric fireball was gone in a flash &#8212; less than a second &#8212; but it left a wind-blown ionization trail that remained visible for several minutes. via NASA <a href=\"https:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\/ap210202.html\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meteors can be colorful.
