New Delhi witnessed a breathtaking celestial spectacle on Friday night as a blazing meteor illuminated the skies, leaving residents in awe and triggering a flood of reactions online. The rare event, visible across Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurgaon, and even Aligarh, showed a dazzling streak of fiery light that fragmented mid-air into smaller glowing pieces. Social media was abuzz with videos of the phenomenon, with many calling it a “shooting star explosion” and among the brightest meteors they had ever witnessed. Astronomy experts confirmed it was most likely a bolide—a meteor that disintegrates due to extreme heat and friction upon entering Earth’s atmosphere. Such large-scale visibility is rare, experts noted. Some residents reported faint rumbling sounds, though no official confirmation came. Authorities assured no damage occurred, as most meteors burn up before hitting the ground. Skywatchers described the sight as a once-in-a-lifetime cosmic marvel. National Meteor Watch Day: From Nubra to Coorg, These Places in India Offer Magical Stargazing Experience to Space Enthusiasts.
