When Australian astrophotographer Ari Rex caught this image of the sky three years ago, he thought it wasn't his best work: he saw a bright light in the sky, heard a crackling sound and blindly snapped his camera. When he posted this picture on Facebook, he was inundated by messages telling him he had caught a rare moment: a meteor zooming towards earth and hitting the ground. bright brillant / crackling crépitant / blindly à l’aveuglette / to snap prendre (une photo) / inundated submergé / to zoom foncer / to hit, hit, hit atteindre, toucher / ground sol.
