Several lucky individuals in the country witnessed a rare astronomical phenomenon of a blazing fireball streak in the sky on Thursday night.
The incident, which turned out to be a meteor shooting down the sky, was reported to the Astronomical Society of Brunei Darussalam (PABD).
According to PABD, observers from Brunei-Muara and Tutong districts reportedly witnessed the spectacular sight and one of them managed to capture the bright green flash of light on a vehicle dashcam.
This bolide was spotted over Spain on December 15, at 5:38 local time (equivalent to 4:38 universal time). It was as bright as the full Moon. The event was generated by a rock (a meteoroid) from an asteroid that hit the atmosphere at about 84,000 km/h. The fireball overflew the region of Castile and León (north of Spain). It began at an altitude of about 106 km over the province of Valladolid, moved east, and ended at a height of around 59 km over the province of Palencia.
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 Calar Alto, Sierra Nevada, Sevilla, La Sagra (Granada), Huelva, Aljarafe, El Guijo (Madrid, operated by Adolfo San Segundo), and La Hita (Toledo). The event has been analyzed by the principal investigator of the SMART project: Dr. Jose M. Madiedo, from the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC).
This stunning bolide was spotted over Spain on December 14, at 1:16 local time (equivalent to 0:16universal time). It was brighter than the full Moon. The event was generated by a rock (a meteoroid) from asteroid Phaethon that hit the atmosphere at about 131,000 km / h. The fireball was a Geminid that overflew the Mediterranean Sea. It began at an altitude of about 109 km over the sea, over a point located at about 45 km west of the coast of Spain. From there it moved west, and ended at a height of around 35 km over on the Mediterranean.
