A fireball (very bright meteor) flashes against the coalsack nebula and the Southern Cross in the night sky above Murchison Widefield Array radio telescope antennas.
The fireball left a glowing trail that dissipated over several minutes. The southern Milky Way and our neighboring dwarf galaxies the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are also visible in this south-looking image.
Emerging out of the Western Australian outback MWA is a remarkable telescope for radio astronomy where more than 2000 antennas are spread across 3 square kilometers, in 128 groups of dual-polarisation dipole antennas. – John Goldsmith
