    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.
