An Australian star-gazer captured a shooting star during the Lyrid meteor shower on April 22 from the New South Wales Southern Highlands. Using a timelapse video-recording technique, Brian Rapsey captured this footage, which shows a carpet of stars in the night’s sky. At one point, a shooting star can be seen streaking across a backdrop of the Milky Way. The annual Lyrid phenomenon is the oldest known meteor shower having been observed for over 2,700 years, according to NASA. Credit: Brian Rapse
