The Geminid Fireball
<p>Honorable mention in the 2023 IAU OAE Astrophotography Contest, category Still images with smartphones-mobile devices: The Geminid Fireball, by Jianfeng Dai.</p> <p>Captured with a smartphone on 13 December 2022, a Geminid meteor illuminated the sky above Blue Moon Valley in Yunnan, China, casting a breathtaking display against the serene backdrop of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Renowned for their dazzling brightness and vivid hues, the Geminids are among the most vibrant meteor showers, originating from the asteroid 3200 Phaethon. Each year, as our planet traverses Phaethon’s debris trail, fragments of dust and rock vaporise in the atmosphere, creating the stunning phenomenon of the Geminid meteor shower. In this stunning night sky image, the twin stars of Gemini (Castor and Pollux) are obscured by the silhouetted trees on the left. Mirrored in the calm waters are the stars that make up the constellation of Orion, which can be seen rising towards the bottom-centre of the image, while the radiant Mars retains its brilliance as the foremost celestial beacon in the scene, all before the moonrise takes over.</p> <p>Credit: Jianfeng Dai/IAU OAE (<a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode">CC BY 4.0</a>)</p>

Fireball events detected in Romania by the FRIPON-MOROI network
<p>In this table we present the fireball events detected by the Fireball Recovery and Inter Planetary Observation Network (FRIPON) (Colas et al., 2020) with the use of the Meteorite Orbits Reconstruction by Optical Imaging (MOROI) network (Nedelcu et al. 2018). The data include events recorded by at least two different fireball cameras installed over the Romanian territory. For each event we provide: the name, the stations that detected it, whether it has noticeable deceleration (V<sub>f</sub>/V<sub>0</sub> < 0.8, where V<sub>f</sub> is the velocity of the meteoroid at the end of the luminous trajectory and V<sub>0</sub> is the initial velocity of the meteoroid).</p> <p>The events are named by the time when they were captured as follows: year, month, day followed by hour, minute, second in UT.</p> <p><strong>The events with noticeable deceleration are analysed in (Boaca et al. 2022), https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4357/ac8542.<br> If using this data, please reference the above publication. </strong></p> <p><em>The online presentation of the paper can be found on the AAS youtube channel:</em></p> <p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wx186QB5ZVE</p> <p> </p>

Fireball And Bolide Reports
Fireballs and bolides are astronomical terms for exceptionally bright meteors that are spectacular enough to to be seen over a very wide area. The following table provides a chronological data summary of fireball and bolide events provided by U.S. Government sensors. Ground-based observers sometimes also witness these events at night, or much more rarely in daylight, as impressive atmospheric light displays. This website is not meant to be a complete list of all fireball events. Only the brightest fireballs are noted. A meteoroid is generally defined as an asteroid or comet fragment that orbits the Sun and has an approximate size between ten microns and a meter or so. Meteors, or "shooting stars," are the visible paths of meteoroids that have entered the Earth's atmosphere at high velocities. A fireball is an unusually bright meteor that reaches a visual magnitude of -3 or brighter when seen at the observer's zenith. Objects causing fireball events can exceed one meter in size. Fireballs that explode in the atmosphere are technically referred to as bolides although the terms fireballs and bolides are often used interchangeably. During the atmospheric entry phase, an impacting object is both slowed and heated by atmospheric friction. In front of it, a bow shock develops where atmospheric gases are compressed and heated. Some of this energy is radiated to the object causing it to ablate, and in most cases, to break apart. Fragmentation increases the amount of atmosphere intercepted and so enhances ablation and atmospheric braking. The object catastrophically disrupts when the force from the unequal pressures on the front and back sides exceeds its tensile strength. Objects causing fireballs are usually not large enough to survive passage through the Earth's atmosphere intact, although fragments, or meteorites, are sometimes recovered on the ground. The approximate total radiated energy in the atmosphere is provided in unit of Joules, a unit of energy given in kilograms times velocity squared, or kg x (m/s)2. An event with an energy equivalent of one thousand tons of TNT explosives is termed a kiloton (kt) event, where 1 kt = 4.185 x 1012 Joules. In the accompanying table, the total radiated energy is given but this is always less that the total impact energy. Peter Brown and colleagues have provided an empirical expression to approximately provide the total impact energy in kt (E), given the optical radiant energy in kt (Eo) (see: Brown et al., The flux of small near-Earth objects colliding with the Earth. Nature, vol. 420, 21 Nov. 2002, pp. 294-296). E = 8.2508 x Eo0.885 The accompanying table provides information on the date and time of each fireball event, its geographic location, its altitude and velocity at peak brightness, its approximate total optical radiated energy and its calculated total impact energy. The pre-impact velocity components are expressed in a geocentric Earth-fixed reference frame defined as follows: the z-axis is directed along the Earth's rotation axis towards the celestial north pole, the x-axis lies in the Earth's equatorial plane, directed towards the prime meridian, and the y-axis completes the right-handed coordinate system. http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/fireball/
