NEWSAR · AI

A meteor was observed streaking across the night sky over Mount Fuji in Japan on Friday. The event was captured on CCTV footage from the Hiratsuka City Museum. The meteor's appearance was notable because meteors can display various colors, such as green, yellow, red, or blue, depending on their elemental composition. These colors are produced as the meteor burns up upon entering Earth's atmosphere. The footage provides a visual record of the meteor's trajectory and colorful display above the iconic Japanese landmark.
