A brilliant green-red Perseid #meteor and the Milky Way! This meteor left a visible "smoke" trail that lingered for a few seconds. It was an amazing scene in the skies of rural Illinois with the high clouds adding to the drama!

At the early career faculty huddle for cancer researchers @uicancercenter.bsky.social. Mentorship is key to success of our faculty & it's wonderful to see these events at UIC. Fantastic job by Larisa Nonn and the group, and I hope to contribute to these mentoring efforts!

A brilliant green-red Perseid meteor blazes past the Milky Way!💫🤩

The red color comes from excited atmospheric oxygen & nitrogen. The green comes from the meteor's magnesium & nickel.
