Several webcams, operated by Nova Scotia Webcams, captured the meteor as it burned up in the atmosphere. At one point, the meteor appears to brighten before going out of view.

We aren’t in the middle of a major meteor shower, but space debris is constantly burning up in the atmosphere.

The next major meteor shower, the Lyrids, peaks on the night of April 22-23.
