If you would like to #volunteer to be a citizen scientist for the UKFN. As well as following us on here, you can subscribe to our mailing list where we will send out the call to arms for any #meteorite recovery expedition @UofGlasgow @imperialcollege mailman.ic.ac.uk/mailman/lis…
We caught the #fireball that flew over #scotland last night on one of our recently installed new cameras. @UK_Fireball

☄️🎆Incoming! The ninth ever immininent impactor has been discovered by the Catalina Sky Survey this morning. There will be a harmless, but likely spectacular fireball in about 8 hours, caused by a small ~1 metre diameter object entering Earth's atmosphere near the Philippines.

Nachdem Erfolg der polnischen Gruppe, haben sich zwei Ungarn 10 Stunden ins Auto gesetzt, um ins Havelland zu fahren. Und nach nur 58 Minuten im Suchgebiet waren sie erfolgreich.

We are out in the fields around Neenhausen with @mfnberlin looking for meteorites.
We are looking for dark looking rocks, with a glassy crust. If you find any take the GPS location of the fragment, put it in a clean plastic bag and get in touch with us.

Here's the full video of the asteroid #Sar2736, a ~1 m object that broke up some 50 m west of #Belin, #Germany, and probably dropped some meteorites on the ground. Video credit: iplivecams.com/live-cams/aug…

☄️💥Incoming! The next immininent impactor discovered by @sarneczky will enter the atmosphere harmlessly but with a nice bright fireball within the next half hour.

Where did the #Winchcombe meteorite come from? And how did it end up crash landing on a driveway?

An entire winter's crop of bright meteors can now be harvested from the comfort of the fireside, thanks to low-light meteor cameras and the work of @meteordoc @UKMeteorNetwork @FireballsUK and friends. Can you spot the imposters?

Contributing networks and organizations, @UK_Fireball , @FireballsUK , @UKMeteorNetwork , @nemetodemeteor , @SCAMP_Meteors , and the #globalmeteornetwork quickly coordinated and shared data, making such accurate measurements possible.
