A schoolboy has impressed experts at US space agency Nasa after capturing a rare picture of a meteor burning out above his home town in south Wales.
Jonathan Burnett, 15, was taking snaps of his friends performing skateboarding stunts near his home in Pencoed near Bridgend when a bright light in the sky caught his attention.
He took two photographs of the fiery ball before it burned out and rushed home to show his parents.
Later, he e-mailed the picture to Nasa asking for an explanation and was amazed to discover that the space experts were so impressed with his snap they had published it on their website.
His father Paul explained: "He has a digital camera and was out taking some pictures of his friends on the street.
"A little boy ran over and shouted 'look the sun has exploded' and Jonathan turned around and managed to take two pictures of it.
