Meteors travelSpace
•69% Informative
There are now more than 10,000 active satellites in orbit, which means you are far more likely to capture these in your images than a meteor.
Satellites travel far slower than meteors and most will appear in images as a solid, straight white line.
The shape of meteor trails will almost always appear tapered, but not usually in a uniform way.
One of the biggest clues to identifying meteors in images is the presence of color.
The size, shape, brightness and color of meteor trails are determined by several factors such as the mass of the meteoroid, chemical makeup, arrival speed and the angle of entry into the atmosphere.
Phone apps like 'Heavens Above' ( Android ) or ' Satellite Tracker by Star Walk' (iOS) may help to identify that mysterious streak in your images as a satellite.
