Talk about a sight for sore eyes! Cameras caught a quick glimpse of a large meteor falling south of Galveston.
Video shared by Saltwater-Recon.com via Twitter shows two different angles of the greenish-blue fireball.
Interestingly, Meteorologist Anthony Yanez says meteors falling aren't as rare as we might think. In fact, just last week there were more than 150 reports of fireball activity across the U.S.
And while it might be too late to make a wish, or whatever it is folks do when they see a falling rock, we can still enjoy re-watching the footage and be in awe of the galaxy's wonders.
We received 54 reports about a fireball seen over Connecticut, CT, DE, MA, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, NH, NJ, NY, Ontario, PA, Pennsylvania, RI and VA on Tuesday, March 19th 2024 around 10:08 UT.
For this event, we received one video and one photo.
This extraordinary bolide was spotted from Spain on March 16, at 2:54 local time (equivalent to 1:54 universal time). It was brighter than the full Moon. The event was generated by a rock (a meteoroid) from an asteroid that hit the atmosphere at about 61,000 km/h. The fireball overflew Portugal. It began at an altitude of about 91 km over Foros de Vale Figueira (west of the region of Évora), moved northeast, and ended at a height of around 19 km over Cano (south of region of Alentejo).
The preliminary analysis of this event shows that the rock was not fully destroyed: a part of the meteoroid survived and reached the ground as a meteorite.
This bright meteor was recorded in the framework of the SMART project, operated by the Southwestern Europe Meteor Network (SWEMN) from the meteor-observing stations located at Huelva, La Hita (Toledo), Calar Alto, Sierra Nevada, La Sagra (Granada), and Sevilla. The event has been analyzed by the team headed by Dr. Jose M. Madiedo (principal investigator of the SMART project), from the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC).
An impressive meteorite was caught on camera as it blazed over Canterbury and Otago earlier this week.
A number of Fireballs Aotearoa's monitoring cameras managed to catch a glimpse of the blazing ball of rock, which made itself known to skygazers around 9pm on Wednesday night.
The fireball was reported from Te Anau to Christchurch, with several lucky enough to witness it from their spa pools.
A report written by University of Otago's James Scott, detailed how the event played out.
