    Must’ve had a lot of copper in that asteroid.

      Probably nickel and/or salts of barium. Copper burns blue as a pyrotechnic colorant.

        Ah ok. I was going to say nickel but I did a quick search and somehow I read that it was copper.

        Depending on the salt you can make both blue and green. Copper sulphate flame test is a pretty common school lab practical isn’t it?

      A lot of spaceship debris looks like this because copper is used in a lot of rocket engines.

    One of the coolest photos I’ve ever seen. I like mountains amid the human development too

    I know I’m being pedantic but aren’t all pictures of meteors by accident?

        Also it’s mentioned for emphasis. It may seem obvious but it’s worth pointing out.

      I don’t understand why they call it an “accident”. The camera was set up and taking timed pictures. I just don’t think “accident” is accurate

    Looks like the Skunkworks guys finally figure out how to build a Deathstar laser.
