Best of the Web: Astronaut watches meteor explode over Earth in bright green fireball in stunning video from ISS on September 2
© NASA/Matthew DominickNASA astronaut Matthew Dominick shared a new timelapse of a bright green fireball on Sept. 2 as the International Space Station passed over Cairo, Egypt.
A new video from an astronaut's vantage point in space captures a bright green burst over Earth as a meteor exploded in the night sky.
NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick, commander of the SpaceX Crew-8 mission, shared a new time-lapse of photos taken from the International Space Station as it passed over Cairo, Egypt. While aiming to photograph the Milky Way's Core, Dominick ended up capturing a bright green fireball that exploded on Monday (Sept. 2) at 8:12 p.m. EDT (2012 GMT).
The outburst seen in the time-lapse was created by a meteor that entered Earth's atmosphere and burned up. Dominick shared the new view in a post on X (formally Twitter) on Sept. 3.
An asteroid hit Earth on Wednesday as it entered the atmosphere over the Philippines
Locals watched in wonder as the space rock streaked through the atmosphere at 39,000 miles per hour and broke apart before getting close to ground.
Footage of the event appeared to show asteroid 2024 RW1 beam brighter than the moon over Luzon Island at 12:46 a.m. local time.
The European Space Agency (ESA) renamed the three-foot asteroid 2024 RW1, after it was given the temporary title CAQTDL2.
'Thanks to new observations, we now have a very good idea of where it will impact,' the ESA said in the two hours leading up to the object's appearance, adding: 'Welcome to Earth asteroid 2024 RW1.'
People speculated the asteroid would still be 'a good lightshow' despite it's small size while others praised scientists ability to predict where and when an asteroid would hit.

If we include this observation, we now have for 2024 the following list of events that have both entered the CNEOS list and have been caught by the "public eye", not merely satellites over remote areas.
