Residents of Karachi were treated to a breathtaking celestial spectacle as meteor showers streaked across the night sky, leaving behind brilliant trails of light.
The meteors, known for their striking glow, were visible in various areas of the city, creating trails that resembled broken stars.
Meteors were spotted in neighborhoods such as Nazimabad, North Nazimabad, Orangi Town, and surrounding regions.
Videos of the meteors quickly gained traction on social media, with many citizens capturing the mesmerizing moment on their phones.
Astronomers explain that meteors are celestial objects that orbit the Sun and fall toward Earth due to its gravitational pull.
As they descend, the friction with the Earth's atmosphere causes them to ignite, producing brilliant streaks of light commonly referred to as "shooting stars."
These meteors, often called "fireballs," offer an awe-inspiring display as they travel through the sky and are often mistaken for "falling stars."
The glowing trails they leave behind can be observed from Earth as they burn up in the atmosphere before reaching the ground, showcasing a natural celestial phenomenon.
Experts further describe these meteors as "meteorites," with the luminous streaks caused by their entry into the Earth's atmosphere.
For Karachiites, the meteor shower added a mesmerizing visual element to the city’s night sky, filling onlookers with awe and wonder.
