Shooting star illuminates night sky as family play in swimming pool
This is the spectacular moment a shooting star whizzed across the clear night sky as a family played in their backyard swimming pool.
The meteor was captured by residents on CCTV and dashcam recordings when it appeared above Bangkok, Thailand, on March 1.
Pana Pom said he recorded the object while he was on holiday with family in Cha-am.
He said: 'I set up my grandfather's iPhone 11 to record us all playing in the pool. I was amazed when I saw the shooting star and then I watched it back on the video. It was a special moment.'
The Thai Astronomical Society (TAS) confirmed that the large fireball spotted in the night sky was a meteor and not a piece of space debris.
Astrologer Wimut Wasalai from the TAS explained that the fireball could have been either a meteor or pieces of spacecraft, satellite, or rocket.
'However, as there were no spacecraft or rockets launched on that day, it was almost certainly a meteor,' he said.
A meteor, also sometimes called a shooting star or falling star, is a streak of light seen in the sky when a piece of rock or metal from space burns up as it enters the Earth's atmosphere.
