A plummeting green light burned through the sky over Australia on Saturday with such a brilliant flash that it could be seen for miles.
On Sunday night, the sky above Johannesburg shone bright with strange lights for a moment, leaving many residents wondering what was going on.

It’s that time of the year again. The Earth has passed through the orbital path of the Swift-Tuttle comet, and we are still alive! Big sigh of relief. This has been happening for almost 2,000 years, and we still haven’t come in contact with the comet. In fact, it’s estimated that we won’t come into contact until 3044. Shame, future descendants.
