A man in the U.K. managed to capture photos and video of a lifetime, documenting the exact moment when a meteor exploded and then disintegrated above a castle.
The images and video were caught during the Orionid meteor shower on Saturday, Oct. 20, SWNS reports. 44-year-old Nick Jackson was heading to take images of Clun Castle in Shropshire when the celestial object made its debut.
Mid-way during the shoot, Jackson saw the giant meteor behind the castle and said: “I immediately thought, ‘I hope that was caught in the frame.’”
