Scanned photograph of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth-grazing_meteoroid_of_13_October_1990" class="extiw" title="en:Earth-grazing meteoroid of 13 October 1990">bolide EN131090</a>, originally captured on a glass photographic plate. The Earth-grazing meteoroid flew above Czechoslovakia and Poland on 13 October 1990 and left to space again. It was taken by an all-sky camera equipped with a fish-eye objective Zeiss Distagon 3.5/30mm located at the hydrometeorological station at Červená hora, Czechoslovakia (now in the Czech Republic). The bolide travels from the south to the north and its track is interrupted by a shutter rotating 12.5 times per second, which allows to determine its speed. The thick bright light track on the left is the Moon.
