Everything in the entire universe is opposite to the sun? Surely, you are confused.
Maybe you don't understand the meaning of the words being used.
Quote:What Is the Antihelion RadiantThe antihelion radiant (also known as anthelion) is a point opposite of the Sun in the sky from the observer’s perspective. This point is just like planets at opposition, except for meteors.
When the Sun sets, the Antihelion radiant rises in the east and reaches its highest elevation approximately 1 a.m. local standard time (2 a.m. DST). It’s not at midnight because of Earth’s velocity through space. The radiant appears 15° east of its true position, peaking around 1 a.m. instead.
You must understand that our perspective to all other things in the universe changes throughout the year. The article is concerning objects in our solar system.

That is complete rubish. Our perspective in space changes by the second. That is why telescopes have to compensate for the movement of the Earth. And yes, when one says opposition of the Sun as a direction, one must specify date and time to be even slightly understood. You don't understand there is no up in space and therefore no opposition without standing on Earth. That requires more specific words and numbers to specify a direction. And yes, I am limiting my discussion to the solar system. When you leave that, you have to switch to galactic measurements and spectral analysis for direction and identification.
In the words of that linked article, more objects come from every direction except from the Sun. Well, how could they possibly come from the direction of the Sun as that direction is daylight on Earth. Less meteors are visible in daylight just like less stars are visible in daylight.
Your article was written by Captain Obvious or Captain Oblivious, I don't know which. It was only meant to impress the unknowing masses with technobabble. Or possibly impress with astrology.
I know too much and question everything.
Does anyone know the minimum safe distance of ignorance?
Did anyone ask the monkeys how much fun the barrel actually was?

Clearly you didn't read the article if that is your takeaway.
It explained the terms being used, the current reference frame being used, and the current direction that recent meteors are coming from.
Unfortunately it can only explain it to you, it cannot understand it to you.

I did read the article. It was very confusing because it used words in a way that indicated the writer did not understand the meaning of. You can't just change the meaning of words and expect anyone to understand you.
Now give me a right assention and declination and I can find that direction in seconds. There are many apps for that.

I did see a fireball many years ago. I was looking in its direction while driving just after dark. Everything lit up like daylight for a couple of seconds.
They are not certain what the difference is in a fireball because they completely burn up leaving no evidence.
Back in the seventies I saw a fireball fly through the sky, it lit everything up, it appeared to be only a mile or so high, it looked like it was going to hit over the hill twenty miles away. Nobody else saw it, I saw it while driving and when I went to the bar everyone thought I was nuts.
Three days later, it was in the news paper, it actually was way higher and bigger than I expected, it actually hit the ground in Canada above Minnesota somewhere, about five hundred miles away. A lot of people saw it that night around eleven oclock, just not the people drinking in the bar...it was way bigger than I had thought because it was found a few days later... someone got rich I bet. It went right over my truck and everything lit up like daytime....from what the Daily mining gazette said, it was probably many miles up. Impressive as hell. No explosion or anything, it just looked like a big white ball with a short white tail
I had to go tell some of the people in the bar about it when I read it in the paper....I guess my worries about being nuts were a waste, they did not even remember I was in the bar that night. I had the article cut from the paper with me for proof, I did not even need to have it and nobody even was interested in stuff like that that I knew. They were more interested in getting a a buzz and fining a little tail. They would be interested in it if it was a mixed drink.

Their scientific curiosity only involved what was in a glass and what it could lead to. You were talking to cheists attempting biology. ?
Fireballs and single meteors are rare to witness because they are over before you can even react.

I wonder if the article author might not be using some manner of "AI" assisted help to re-explain their intentions, and they don't realize they are not exactly explaining themselves as well as they could by just stating their own words... flaws and all.
The moon strike footage was featured when I first noticed it, with a caption identifying it as an actual record of observation... rather than a simulation.
It passes muster as a click harvesting tool... but not much else as offered as comment without following links into someone else's playground... (yeah... zero trust in non-vetted links from the wilderness.) But I do appreciate knowing it did at least lead somewhere were actual facts were on display.

I was thinking about this latest meteorite that supposedly hit a volcano. It was green. So was a laser that was projected into a volcano a few years back. Green roofed homes survived the fires in Pacific palisades and blue roofed homes survived the fires in Hawaii. Thinking they may act as filters. And then a year or two ago a volcano blew up on a Pacific Island but it sure looked like something hit it when videos were replayed from space. At the time I thought it was a meteorite that got past NASA's observation network and they were embarrassed and said it was an eruption. Now maybe it was something else technology wise.
