A meteor was spotted streaking through the sky in Florida on Monday, lighting up the night sky along the coast. Full story:

A meteor, also called a "shooting star," is when an object in space called a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere at high speed and burns up, according to. Sometimes they survive the trip through the atmosphere and hit the ground, at which point they're called meteorites.

Monday's meteor was spotted around the same time the asteroid 2021 GW4 was expected to come close to Earth's surface, between 12,000 and 16,000 miles away, according to NPR.
