When spending a few nights enjoying the wonders of a starry sky, you can suddenly be surprised with a sporadic meteor or a fireball. Don’t forget to make a wish, or simply scream “wooow” and smile to the sky above with your friends or loved ones. The image shows a bright golden one captured in a single frame near Ermida de Nossa Senhora do Amparo in @darkskyalqueva Mértola territory. Above it is visible part of the winter Milky Way while at the center Pleiades star cluster is shining in blue. At the top right corner, the bright orange hue light belongs to planet Mars.
