A newly discovered asteroid has blown up in an "airburst" over the English Channel in the early hours of this morning.
In a historic first, the celestial explosion took place at about 3am on Monday, February 13 after the small one-metre asteroid, known as Sar2667, entered the Earth's atmosphere.
The fireball could be seen from most of England and Wales, with reports of it also being spotted as far south as Paris, France. Stargazers captured the beautiful moment, with videos of the rare occurrence now circulating on social media.
