NZ's first AllSky7 #fireball camera! I'm delighted to have handed this over to @astrokiwi for deployment at @UCNZ_PhysChem as part of the @FireballsNZ meteorite recovery project. Let's go find some space rocks!

Why are #fireballs green? Delighted to have helped with this great article in @ConversationEDU by Professor Jack Baggaley of @UCNZ and @FireballsNZ theconversation.com/meteors-…

Meteors seem to be raining down on New Zealand, but why are some bright green?

The green glow of an aurora is caused by oxygen ions in the upper atmosphere. Some meteors can glow in this way, too, but only if they are extremely fast.

Thanks SWEMN for implementing the Global Fireball Exchange Format. Now they can swap meteor observations with the other leading #Fireball networks (see below for implementation status). The next Spanish #meteorite just got easier to find.

Saturday's UK #meteorite fall as seen from #Eastbourne. @UKMeteorNetwork calculate the rock was about the same size as #Winchcombe and landed in the ocean just off the Isle of Wight. (AllSky7 camera from @amsmeteors and @UK_Fireball)

Sharing my photos of New Zealand because why not, this place makes me happy. Bark Bay, full of stingrays and clear green water, seen only by those who walk or boat in.
