Professional photographer Wes Eisenhauer was filming the Milky Way galaxy in South Dakota, when he noticed something moving out of the corner of his eye. After replaying his timelapse footage, he spotted a nice meteor explosion. Shot on October 16th, 2014, it’s the second time-lapse of this kind this month!

Meteor Time-lapse – South Dakota, October 16th, 2014 @Wes Eisenhauer
Wow! In the right place at the right time. I’ve never seen anything like this. I’m glad you were there to film it.
Definitely at the right time to capture a really cool set of pictures. That takes a whole lot of patience to do this I know I have been outside with my telescope trying to capture that once in a lifetime shot of a cool picture and still after 10 months not a whole lot of out of the ordinary things. But they say good things come to people who wait. I am waiting, and getting older.
