2023 February 17 - 2023 CX1 Meteor Flash

In today's image, we see the flash of the meteor created by the object known as 2023 CX1. This is a very rare case where the object was detected before it actually hit Earth's atmosphere. In this case, seven hours in advance. While not much of a warning, it was time for the photographer to be able to get this image.
