This is the breathtaking moment a meteor whizzes through the night sky over Sevilla, Spain, on New Year's Day.

Stunning footage captures the dazzling fireball racing across the horizon, visible over Ciudad Real and Jaen in the early hours of January 1, officially recorded as Cancrida SPMN010124K at 3:50 am UTC.

Meteors are bits of comets and asteroids. As these objects pass the Sun, they leave a dusty trail. Each year, Earth passes through this debris, causing the bits to burn up in the atmosphere and create fiery streaks in the sky.

Spain is located in the southern part of Europe, with many areas enjoying clear skies and relatively low levels of light pollution, especially in rural regions. This can provide excellent viewing conditions for celestial events like meteor showers.
