As the Earth rotates around the Sun, rock fragments enter our atmosphere and fall to the surface where we can collect them as meteorites. What can we learn from these space rocks? They hold data about the formation of the solar system and planets. Curator in the Division of Physical Sciences Denton Ebel takes us on a tour of the Arthur Ross Hall of Meteorites at the American Museum of Natural History where we can explore the origins of the solar system and planets, learn about sample-return missions, and delve into hazards posed by meteorite impacts. #meteorites #meteors #asteroids #astronomy #geology Visit AMNH.org for a transcript of this episode: https://www.amnh.org/explore/videos/exhibits/explore-meteorite-hall-with-curator-denton-ebel ...and for more information on the Arthur Ross Hall of Meteorites: https://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/permanent/meteorites *** Subscribe to our channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=AMNHOrg Check out our full video catalog: http://www.youtube.com/user/AMNHorg Facebook: ‪http://fb.com/naturalhistory ‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ Twitter: ‪http://twitter.com/amnh ‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ Tumblr: ‪http://amnhnyc.tumblr.com/‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ Instagram: ‪http://instagram.com/amnh‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ This video and all media incorporated herein (including text, images, and audio) are the property of the American Museum of Natural History or its licensors, all rights reserved.

Perseid Meteor Shower Peaks August 12th, 2019 Every year in August, the Earth passes through rock and dust fragments left behind by the comet Swift-Tuttle, last time it came near the Sun. As these small particles collide with the Earths atmosphere, they burn-up, often creating a startling streak of light across the sky. The term 'Perseid', refers to the star constellation of Perseus. The meteors actually have nothing to do with the stars we see from Earth, as being part of Perseus. It just appears as though the meteors originate from Perseus. The Perseid meteor shower actually starts in late July and runs to late August. However, the best time to view is around the peak.

The Perseids meteor shower, one of the most prolific meteor showers of the year, peaks on the night of August 12, 2019. The Perseids is a favorite for many stargazers because it has more bright meteors than most showers, usually about 50-60 per hour. Like most meteor showers, the Perseids are sand grain-sized debris shed from a comet, in this case, Comet Swift-Tuttle. As the Earth passes through the comet’s debris trail every year, some particles enter our atmosphere and vaporize, generating the bright streaks we call meteors. The Perseid Meteor Shower builds slowly, starting in late July when you might see 3 to 4 an hour. They peak when Earth passes through the densest part of the cometary debris stream on August 12-13. At the peak of the show, in clear, dark sky, you might see as many as 60 meteors an hour. For the best view of the Perseids, look for meteors late on August 12 and the early morning of August 13. After midnight is best… that’s when the Earth turns into the stream of particles from Swift-Tuttle. Avoid ambient light if you can. Lie on a reclining chair or a blanket on the ground, and simply look up. You don’t need binoculars or a telescope. Nor do you need to look right at the constellation of Perseus: the meteors can appear anywhere in the sky. Those with long streaks come into the atmosphere at an oblique angle; those with shorter streaks enter the atmosphere at a steep angle and come more directly towards us… and no, they will not hit you! Because the radiant lies in Perseus, northern-hemisphere observers get the best view, although southerners will see some too. In medieval Europe, the Perseids were called the “Tears of St. Lawrence” because they occur near the anniversary of the death of Laurentius, a Christian deacon who was martyred by the Roman Emperor Valerian in the year 258 CE. The first recorded observation of the Perseids was by Chinese astronomers in 36 CE Join us throughout the night of August 12th as we look to the sky with Slooh Astrophysicist, Dr. Paige Godfrey.

NASA has released images of a huge meteor that exploded over Earth last year with more than 10 times the energy of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima during World War II. The “fireball,” NASA’s term for an exceptionally bright meteor visible over a wide area, exploded about 16 miles above the Bering Sea on Dec. The long, dark streak at the center of the image is actually a shadow of the meteor’s trail cast on top of clouds. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/fireball-nasa-terra_n_5c98e057e4b01ebeef123d26 http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

Tons of tiny meteorites fall to Earth every day, but are next to impossible to find once they land. At least, that’s what the science community thought. In this pilot episode of our “Trial & Error” experiment series, we go on a hunt for micrometeorites with the help of the amateur scientist who showed the world that they truly could be found.

On Dec. 27, 1984, a Mars meteorite was found in Antarctica. The meteorite, known as Allan Hills 84001, was found in Allan Hills, which is a group of hills in Antarctica. It was found by an American team of meteorite hunters from a National Science Foundation program called ANSMET, which stands for the Antarctic Search for Meteorites. Weighing in at just over 4 lbs., this space rock is considered to be one of the oldest Martian meteorites ever found on Earth. Scientists estimate that it crystallized from molten rock more than 4 billion years ago, when Mars still had liquid water on its surface. Scientists determined that the meteorite probably came from an area called Valles Marineris. To figure that out, they compared spacecraft data on the chemical composition of Mars with the chemical composition of the meteorite. Scientists think that the meteorite was ejected into space when Mars got hit by a meteor about 17 million years ago, and that it hit the Earth about 13,000 years ago.

An official from the California Academy of Sciences explained why the strange light that glowed across California Wednesday night was likely a meteor. Joe Vasquez reports.(12-19-2018)

A mysterious light in the sky was seen from Los Angeles to San Francisco Wednesday night.

It was seen all over the state, and based on the elevation I've estimated this was a meteorite burning up about 30-50miles up over the pacific ocean. People all over the state saw it, in part because many rocket watchers were waiting for a launch out of Vandenberg and were ready to snap pictures of trails in the sky.

The Geminids meteor shower, one of the best meteor showers of the year, peaks during the night of December 13-14, 2018 and shows up to 100-150 meteors per hour in dark sky. Join Slooh for a live show during which we enjoy live feeds from partner observatories of Geminid meteors and discuss this remarkable annual celestial event.

On November 27, 1885, an astronomer made the first known photograph of a meteor. The picture was taken by Austro-Hungarian astronomer Ladislaus Weinek. He captured the trail of the meteor on a photographic plate in the Czech Republic. The meteor he captured was part of the Andromedid meteor shower. The Andromedids were associated with Biela's Comet, which broke apart in the 1850s. When Weinek observed the meteor shower in 1885, it was in the middle of a meteor storm. This means that there were way more meteors than usual. Skywatchers could see thousands of meteors per hour. What used to be a spectacular annual meteor shower is now hardly even visible. Instead of photographic plates or digital cameras, astronomers now have to use special tracking equipment to record images of Andromedid meteors.

In a remote area of northwest Greenland, an international team of scientists has made a stunning discovery, buried beneath a kilometer of ice. It’s a meteor impact crater, 300 meters deep and bigger than Paris or the Beltway around Washington, DC. It is one of the 25 largest known impact craters on Earth, and the first found under any of our planet’s ice sheets. The researchers first spotted the crater in July 2015, while they were inspecting a new map of the topography beneath Greenland's ice sheet that used ice-penetrating radar data primarily from Operation IceBridge, an ongoing NASA airborne mission to track changes in polar ice, and earlier NASA airborne missions in Greenland.

Dozens of phone calls have been made to the Perth Observatory after people reported 'a giant fireball' above south-west Australia. The fireball is believed to have been a meteor that entered the Earth's atmosphere at speeds of up to 20km per second, according to the observatory. Scientists from Curtin University are investigating whether the meteor completely burned up in the atmosphere or hit the ground near York, a town about 100km east of Perth Subscribe to Guardian News on YouTube ► http://bit.ly/guardianwiressub Support the Guardian ► https://theguardian.com/supportus The Guardian ► https://www.theguardian.com The Guardian YouTube network: The Guardian ► www.youtube.com/theguardian Owen Jones talks ► http://bit.ly/subsowenjones Guardian Football ► http://is.gd/guardianfootball Guardian Sport ► http://bit.ly/GDNsport Guardian Culture ► http://is.gd/guardianculture Guardian Science and Tech ► http://is.gd/guardiantech

According to Business Insider, the best meteor shower of the year is going to take place this weekend. Perseids meteor showers are identified by explosions of light and color as well as their long, streaking tails. These meteor showers typically that last longer than other meteor showers. This year, the viewing of the meteors will be particularly spectacular, since there's a new moon on August 11th. This means that there will be almost no moonlight to interfere with the show. The best time to watch the Perseids shower will be on the night of August 12th and the early morning of August 13th. https://www.businessinsider.com/perseids-meteor-shower-2018-8 http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

Whether it’s the Perseids meteor shower in August or the Orionids in October, meteor showers are one of those light shows we can always count on year after year. And that regularity has everything to do with what you’re actually seeing when you watch a meteor shower. Tech Insider tells you all you need to know about tech: gadgets, how-to's, gaming, science, digital culture, and more. Subscribe to our channel and visit us at: http://www.businessinsider.com/sai TI on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/techinsider TI on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tech_insider/ TI on Twitter: https://twitter.com/techinsider INSIDER on Snapchat: https://insder.co/2KJLtVo -------------------------------------------------- Following is the transcript of the video: Solar eclipses are rare and you can never predict when an aurora will illuminate the sky. But there's one cosmic light show we can always count on. Meteor showers. They happen around the same time each year and have been doing so for centuries. But despite their brilliance and beauty it doesn't take much to make a meteor shower. You just need three ingredients, the sun, Earth and a comet. Comets have been around since the dawn of our solar system over four-and-a-half billion years ago. They formed out of the same disc of gas and dust that created earth and the other seven planets. And like the other planets they too orbit the sun but that's where the similarities end. Most planets orbit the sun on fairly circular orbits whereas comets take a more elliptical path through our solar system. Check out Halley's Comet for example. Right now it's beyond the orbit of the furthest planet Neptune. But over the next 50 years it will travel about three billion miles toward the inner reaches of our solar system. Eventually flying past Earth in the year 2061. And it's encounters like this that make meteor showers possible. Because as a comet approaches the inner solar system, the sun's radiation heats up ice under the surface and as that ice turns to a vapor it generates powerful outbursts of gas and dust, sometimes ejecting hundreds of tons of material into space per second. The result is a brilliant stream of debris called the comet tail or coma, which can stretch hundreds to thousands of miles across. In fact, space is littered with comet tail debris that our planet passes through each year. And when that happens, the debris strikes our atmosphere at over 100,000 miles an hour, incinerating the four-and-a-half billion year old fragments in seconds. This produces brilliant flashes of light that we call a meteor shower. Now some meteor showers are more spectacular than others, giving us anywhere from a few to over a hundred meteors an hour. And even the same meteor shower can vary from year to year. It all depends on how much debris we scoop up as we pass through the tail. Regardless, comet tails tend to follow the same path as the comet itself, which means they pass through the same spot along Earth's orbit. That's why we get the same meteor showers around the same time each year. At the end of October for example, we pass through the tale of Halley's Comet which gives us the Orionids meteor shower. And every August, we pass through comet Swift-Tuttle's tail which we see as the Perseids meteor shower. But it's not just October and August, meteor showers occur year-round. So check your calendar to see when the next one will be coming to a sky near you.

A long standing question that we seem to ask ourselves is, where do we come from? And while there are many responses to that question, it appears that science is one step closer to figuring it out. According to Geek.com, a new study lead by the University of Manchester points to ancient meteorites as a source for possible clues to understanding the genesis of life on Earth. The study confirms that organic matter found in a 4.5 billion year old chondritic asteroid made during the infant stage of our Solar System, formed from basic chemical reactions. The study’s findings suggest that if organic material can develop from basic chemical processes in galaxy, why shouldn’t that be true in other planetary systems. https://www.geek.com/news/ancient-meteorites-shed-light-on-early-solar-system-1748457/?source http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit Tech using http://wochit.com
