A fireball exploded and lit up the skies over Yellowknife early Thursday morning, but was not believed to have caused any damage.
One expert compared it to a similar incident that took place over Montreal last November.
An image of the explosion was posted on the website of Spaceweather.com. It was captured by a photographer who was leading a tour of the Aurora Borealis.
The exploding meteor was described as being so bright that it turned the night sky blue.
Peter Brown, a physics professor at Western University in London, Ont., viewed the photo of the bright fireball, which he calculated was less than one metre in size.
He told The Canadian Press the fact that there was an explosion meant the object had probably penetrated deep into the atmosphere.

Planet Earth is still in line with the galactic center of the galaxy, where gravitational pull is strongest with the center of our galaxy. There will be lots of space debris present, as well as lots of UFOs containing our space brothers and sisters.
