An amateur photographer captured the "unique moment in his life" as a meteor exploded before disintegrating into the night sky of Shorpshire.
The scene, which was recorded very few times on the camera, was filmed during a shower of Orionid meteors.
Orionid meteors occur each fall when the Earth crosses the stream of debris left by Halley's comet.
Landscape photographer Nick Jackson went to Clun Castle in Shropshire to photograph the 13th century building in front of the night sky to create a "star path".
In the middle of the filming, Nick saw the meteor flying in the sky behind the castle.
He said: "I immediately thought: I hope this was taken in. It's very unusual to see a meteor as big because I was spinning the track of stars, I could not check the film immediately. "
On returning home and examining his photos, he realized that he had seized the moment.
The 44-year-old said, "It was pure coincidence that I was shooting the series of images at that time, so with things like that, you have to be in the right place at the right time. . "

A series of 30 images transformed into a video shows the meteor flying in the middle of the frame and exploding in a flash of light.
Then, when a circular cloud of debris scatters in the starry sky, two more meteors can be seen projecting in different directions.
The scene, much of which would be invisible to the human eye, took place over the space of about four minutes.
Nick then combined the footage into four seconds of footage.
He said, "To the naked eye, everything is finished in a flash, you just see a trail of light and a brilliant ping, and then it's gone." However, the camera records all the details of the after."
Nick added, "There are very few, I've posted it on Facebook on astronomy groups and everything has exploded over the weekend." People were saying, "You're a lucky guy it's a unique thing in life "."

Nick used a Nikon d570 camera complete with a 24mm f1.4 lens to film the scene.
He said: "If we, photographers, go out in the middle of the night and stay there by cold, it's because we are obsessed with the beauty of the night sky, its calmness and its tranquility. impressive. "
