Re: [meteorite-list] A Managua, Nicaragua meteorite?

Without ruling out that this is indeed a meteorite impact, I take the near miss of asteroid 2014 RC rather as an argument against than for. Given the news exposure that the asteroid has had, early investigators might have jumped to conclusions. We should wait for more evidence. The impact seems

Re: [meteorite-list] Huh? PhD has a Meteor? over Houston, TX? Looks like an aircraft contrail to me.

Meteors, or perhaps more frequently space junk, can move over the horizon for a few minutes, but what gives this away is that the sun has just set near the fireball. It's getting dark on the ground, whilst the contrail is still in the light of the setting sun making it an impressive sight. The

[meteorite-list] Bright bolide near the Swedish/Norwegian border

At 23:50:39UTC 2015-08-12 a bright bolide appeared in Scandinavia. Not a Perseid, but observed by many Perseid observers. It lasted 9 seconds, bright as the full moon for about 6 seconds and peaked around -14 at 100 km distance. It fragmented into two groups and faded in a spray. Green and

[meteorite-list] Geminids

Hello, The Geminids surely didn't fail this year. I've made this composite image of last night's catch: http://norskmeteornettverk.no/bilder/2015/geminide-2015.jpg Observed from Solobservatoriet, Harestua, Norway. A couple of geminids reached an altitude of 33 km and could even have dropped

Re: [meteorite-list] Geminids

I reprojected each of the 108 exposures moving the radiant to the centre and stacked them (I also removing noise and aurora, so some faint meteors were probably lost), and the resulting image is: http://norskmeteornettverk.no/bilder/2015/geminidene-radiant.png -Steinar Steinar Midtskogen via

Thank you, and in case anyone is interested I can give some technical details for the network that we're currently building in Norway. We do not use allsky cameras, but rather a combination of wide angle cameras. We currently use four 5 MP IP cameras to cover the entire sky. Each record video in

http://norskmeteornettverk.no/meteor/20151122/101502/ Unfortunately, only recorded by one camera (manual inspection has so far not revealed anything) and the end azimuth likely puts any meteorites in the sea southwest of Mandal, Norway's southernmost point. -- Steinar

Hi We just set up new cameras in Skibotn, Norway and calibrated them last night. Today at 14:30 local time this happened: https://youtu.be/6ZDEO75mR8w This was a northern Taurid, as bright as the full moon, visible for 7 seconds. Shallow entry angle and it fully disintegrated 60 km above

Some more videos of the fireball off the Swedish west coast: http://norskmeteornettverk.no/bilder/2020/videos-20201128.mp4 The full moon is visible in a couple of the videos, which gives an idea of the brightness. It was visible for more than 10 seconds. -- Steinar

Re: [meteorite-list] hot vs. cold meteorite falls

A meteoroid could possibly travel in the Earth's shadow for several hours before it reaches the atmosphere, and this could be enough to cool down its interior if not a particularily large meteoroid. But a core temperature near 0° C sounds reasonable as a typical value. Earth would be -18° C

Re: [meteorite-list] Noblesville IN possible meteorite landing December

Correct. Generally, the strongest indication that something fell really far away is people reporting that it fell at most a few miles away. If something actually falls within a few miles, this is what you would experience: The meteor climbs pretty much exactly vertically after been first seen
