That beautiful moment was recorded by Yasushi Aoshima on October 26. While rushing down and dissipating, due to the high-altitude winds blowing the shooting star, a trail of gold dust curled up.

According to an analysis of SonotaCo Meteor Network experts, this supernova comes from the orbit of Mars, a meteorite in the Asteroid Belt. Maybe due to the gravity of Jupiter or by colliding with another meteorite, it is deviated from the orbit that falls to Earth and creates a beautiful scenery in the sky of Japan.
