All sky camera photograhs many bright meteors

I've watched meteors for many years and seen some real bright ones. However this camera does things better by capturing them in a 360 view. Look at all of them captured over a period of time.

Photo of trail from asteroid that came through atmosphere

A small asteroid that was detected and came through the atmosphere left a big trail over the skies in Africa. This was the first time such a detection was found and watched as it came through the atmosphere.
