Hi Bernd and List >>>>had a greenish color, apparent diameter ca. 2 inches, color greenish, duration seveal seconds
possibly a magnesium rich meteor? A huge Enstatite maybe? Exciting! I hope something is found As layers of the meteoroid abrade and ionize, the color of the light emitted may change according to the layering of minerals. Colors of meteors depend on the relative influence of the metallic content of the meteoroid versus the superheated air plasma, which its passage engenders Orange-yellow (sodium) Yellow (iron) Blue-green (magnesium) violet (calcium) Red (atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen) source : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteoroid Clear Skies and Good Hunting Ian #8013 ref http://www.meteorites.com.au/glossary.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteoroid ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
