A Meteor Below the ISS | Quadrantid Fireball Seen From Space

As the Quadrantid meteor shower peaked, Sen captured a rare sight: a meteor streaking through Earth’s atmosphere below the International Space Station. Filmed on 03 January 2026 at 20:46 UTC, as Earth passed through a thin debris trail left behind by asteroid 2003 EH1. The Quadrantids are famous for producing intense fireball meteors — some bright enough to outshine planets — but their peak lasts only a few hours. The 2025–26 shower reached maximum activity under a full moon, washing out most meteors for observers on the ground. If you missed the Quadrantids from Earth, this is what they looked like from space. 🌌 Subscribe for new 4K Earth videos every week.
