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.

Two scientists say a meteor swarm in 2019 could have some large hidden objects.

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

The Perseid Meteor Shower peaks on the night of August 12 into the morning of August 13. With a clear sky, observers will be able to see up to 60 meteors per hour at its peak. NASA Science: http://science.nasa.gov/

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.

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

What's up in the night sky this month? The best meteor shower of the year! The Perseids peak on a moonless summer night –from 4 p.m. on the 12th until 4 a.m. on the 13th EDT. Thanks to a new moon, the days before and after the peak will also provide nice, dark skies. The best time to look for shooting stars is from a few hours after twilight until dawn on the days surrounding the peak. For more star parties and astronomy events near you, visit https://nightsky.nasa.gov

Save the date to watch the peak of the Perseid meteor shower—an always-anticipated feature of the night sky—August 12 and 13th. This month, backyard telescopes will also reveal sunlight reflecting off the clouds of Venus’s thick atmosphere and the Ring Nebula, an expanding shell of glowing gas in the constellation Lyra. “Tonight’s Sky” is produced by HubbleSite.org, online home of the Hubble Space Telescope.

See more images from this event by visiting http://bit.ly/acapricornids Recently, I spent 6 days backpacking up and over massive peaks within California’s Sierra Nevada mountains. My trip was planned around the Waxing Gibbous phase of the moon to take advantage of moonlit, mountainous and alpine landscapes at high altitudes. From ~12,000-foot elevations, the stars glistened vividly, colorful, and radiant. Challenging daily thunderstorms seemed to follow me around every corner however, I was rewarded each cool night with a few moments of clear skies. During the third night of the trip, I prepared a time-lapse to capture the moonset, followed by the Milky Way positioning itself behind a 12,700-foot mountain peak in the distance. In a rare stroke of luck, my camera captured an unmistakably massive meteor ‘Fireball’ entering our atmosphere. I thought the most impressive part of the image above was just how brilliant the meteor was. The explosion was so bright it briefly illuminated the entire landscape. Music by Doug Maxwell entitled "Breathing Planet."

According to Digitaltrends.com, ALE Co., a Tokyo-based startup says you shouldn't have to wait for a meteor shower to look at shooting start. The company is looking to develop a system that would offer paying customers “shooting stars on demand,” and based on a report by Japan Times, the first man-made meteor shower in the history of the world could take place in just two years. The system depends upon two satellites, both of which are currently being developed. The satellites are set to be programmed to send the tiny fireworks flying in the right place, speed, and direction in order to achieve visible illumination even over an extremely crowded metropolitan area. https://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/japan-man-made-meteor-shower/ http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit Tech using http://wochit.com

On June 9, 1952, the Abee meteorite fell in Alberta, Canada, at 11:05 at night. The space stone weighed nearly 326 pounds and was recovered from a 6 foot- deep crater in a wheat field when it was found five days later. A piece of it is on display at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. Abee is classified as enstatite chondrite with petrologic type 4. It is the only type in the world of this specific meteorite. Scientists think meteorites like Abee formed near the sun, where it would contain little or no water, according to the museum.

According to Gizmodo, in 2008 a large meteor detonated above Sudan, covering the area with shards of material. Scientists have been collecting and analyzing these samples to see what can be learned from them. New research indicates that there was likely a Mercury or Mars-sized planet that has been shredded and scattered throughout the system. The 80-ton meteorite is known as Almahata Sitta, and is the first significant evidence that another proto-world existed long ago in our solar system. This micro world may have collided with another proto-planet and caused a huge debris field to get scattered across the solar system. It is speculated this helped to seed many of the planetary bodies we see today, like Earth. https://www.geek.com/science/diamonds-found-in-meteorite-tell-story-of-destroyed-planet-1737483/?source http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com
