Look at that sky. No wonder I loved camping in central Australia.

In this example recorded in March of 2006, the center of our <A href="http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap080503.html">Milky Way</A> Galaxy rises over planet Earth's horizon and the large sandstone formation called Uluru, also known as <A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uluru">Ayers Rock</A>. After setting up two cameras to automatically image this celestial scene in a series of exposures, one through a wide-angle and the other through a telephoto lens, photographer Joseph Brimacombe briefly turned his back to set up other equipment. To his surprise, the ground around him suddenly lit up with the brilliant flash of a <A href="http://www.amsmeteors.org/fireball/faqf.html">fireball meteor</A>. To his delight, both cameras captured the <A href="http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap991202.html">bright meteor</A> streak. Highlighted in the telephoto view (inset), the fireball trail shines through cloud banks, just left of <A href="http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap021030.html">Ayers Rock</A>. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/EF8DAD4F-99FF-4610-BB91-DB9ED6F212DA/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
