A rare fireball meteor lit up the night sky early Monday morning, thrilling astronomy enthusiasts. The shooting star was caught on camera in Pingtung, Kaohsiung and Changhua. Experts say the fireball was part of the annual Quadrantid meteor shower. The meteor itself was very bright, and its smoke trail lingered in the sky for more than 3 minutes. Let's hear more.

The Quadrantids peak from Dec. 28 to Jan. 12 this year, and especially in the early morning of Jan. 4. But even a day later on Jan. 5, we were able to spot a fireball meteor overhead going south at 5:21 in the morning.
Mr. Tseng
Saw the meteor
At first I thought it was a missile! But then the huge shooting star zipped across the sky!
Mr. Tseng was driving to the market to sell fruits when he saw the shooting star. At first he was alarmed, thinking it might be a missile, but when he realized it was a meteor, he was thrilled, and wished for a good day of business. It turns out the wish came true, as he sold out all his fruit early. He happened to capture the meteor on camera, and posted it online to share the magic with everyone.
