The impressive fireball in this video was recorded from Spain on November 8, at 1:02 local time (equivalent to 0:02 universal time). It was brighter than the full Moon. The event was generated by a rock (a meteoroid) from Comet 2P/Encke that hit the atmosphere at about 105,000 km/h. The fireball overflew the province of Alicante (Spain). It began at an altitude of about 102 km over the locality of Verdegas (province of Alicante), moved northwest, and ended at a height of around 64 km over the locality of Castalla (province of Alicante).

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), Sevilla, Olocau (Valencia), and Mazagón. 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). Its code in the SWEMN database is: SWEMN20251108_000258.

After passing behind the sun in October, interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS is now visible from Earth again. Astronomers are photographing it in the pre-dawn sky.

Michael Jaeger of Austria has been tracking the comet since it re-appeared on Nov. 4th. "We have something unusual to report," he says. "3I/ATLAS showed a complex tail structure early this morning (Nov. 8th)."

There is something unusual to report. 3I/ATLAS showed a complex tail structure early this morning. We observed it at 29 degrees elongation from the Sun.

The sum image from 24x35sec green and 2x35 red and 2x35 blue with 11" RASA shows a 5' coma and 4-5 tails or jets: 400“ pa 0, 500” pa 316, 900“ pa 295, 430” pa 278 and a counter-tail 200" pa 109 At the time of exposure, the comet was 7-10° above the horizon; at the end, twilight interfered with the observation, which took place under bright moonlight. We observed from a mountain location.

The comet was 9m1 bright (measured from 6x35 sec green).

"At the time of exposure, the comet was 7-10° above the horizon," he says. "At the end, twilight interfered with the observation, which took place under bright moonlight. We observed from a mountain location."
