Might want to avoid semi-trucks and AC/DC for a minute.

I know I’m being pedantic but aren’t all pictures of meteors by accident?

I don’t understand why they call it an “accident”. The camera was set up and taking timed pictures. I just don’t think “accident” is accurate

They’re not necessarily accidental (for example, taking long exposures during a meteor shower), but yes the vast majority of meteor pictures are by chance. A few meteors have been detected just before entry and photographed but that number is in the single digits.

Also it’s mentioned for emphasis. It may seem obvious but it’s worth pointing out.
