These events are normal and happen frequently. However, there are now more cameras facing everywhere. As such, this morning a fireball was shot across the sky in southern Portugal. This light is an incandescent meteorite passing through the Earth’s atmosphere. This asteroid was detected by the sensors of the SMART project, from the Andalusian Astrophysics Institute.
The event, due to its characteristics, can be enjoyed with the naked eye, taking into account the bright light in the dark dawn.
According to the Spanish information agency EFE, this celestial body traveled through the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula. It was accompanied by a Spanish scientific project that detected the crossing at a speed of about 227 thousand kilometers per hour.
At 3:49 am on Monday, the sensors of the SMART project, of the Andalusian Astrophysics Institute (IAA-CSIC), of the astronomical observatories in Calar Alto (Almeria), Seville and La Hita (Toledo), followed the track and trajectory of the meteorite which followed a westward trajectory, extinguishing at an altitude of about 60 kilometers above the south of Portugal.
Several publications reported the passage of this meteorite.
facebookAs mentioned, the fireball is the result of the collision between the rock at high speed and the Earth's atmosphere. The friction caused the rock to become incandescent, thus generating a possible glare to follow with the naked eye at an altitude of about 132 kilometers west of Andalusia.
