A momentary meteor enters the Earth’s atmosphere as a blazing ball of fire and Australia breaks over the sea near Australia. It was captured by a research ship’s camera.
- The moment a meteor flashed in our atmosphere, it caught the research ship
- The meteorite was spotted outside Tasmania at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday at UTC
- The researchers said it glowed bright green before crashing into the ocean
A meteorite over the sea near Australia lit up the night sky, saw a glowing ball of fire and then smashed the ocean – and the amazing scene was captured on camera.
A research vessel was traveling at full moment in the waters off the coast of Tasmania, whose leaststream camera will be able to take meteor footage as it enters Earth’s atmosphere.
A bright flash of green twinkling light in the naked eye was found Wednesday night at 9:30 p.m., local time.
Reports of the sighting flooded the media, but the only camera to catch him was the CSIRO RV investigator.
A meteorite over the sea near Australia lit up the night sky, it looked like a glowing ball of fire and then broke the sea – and the spectacular scene was captured on camera.
“Looking at the footage, it’s a stroke of luck,” said John Hooper, CSIRO’s Voyage manager on board.
“What we saw on the review of the livestream footage surprised us. The idea of the size and brightness of the meteorite was incredible,” Hooper said.
‘The meteor crossed the sky directly in front of the ship and then crashed – it was amazing to see the footage and we were so lucky that we captured it all on the ship’s live stream.’
Although the incident was provocative, Glenn Nagle of CSIRO astronomy and astronomy pointed out that it reminds us that ‘space is far from empty.’
A research ship was traveling at full moment on the waters off the coast of Tasmania, allowing its livestream cameras to take meteor footage as it entered Earth’s atmosphere.

“Every day, more than 100 tons of natural space debris enters the Earth’s atmosphere,” Nagle said.
‘Most of it disappears because it happens on a non-populated area like the South Sea.
He went on to explain that meteorites enter the atmosphere with tremendous speeds ranging from 25,000mph to 160,000mph, converting their kinetic energy into other forms such as heat, light and sound.
In space, these objects are asteroids that are traveling along their own path.
However, the path may change if they come too close to Earth due to the gravitational pull of our planet.
“As they enter our atmosphere, they become meteors – and their entry can be visually stunning,” Nagle said.
At the time this vision was captured, the RV investigator was 62 miles (100 km) south of the Tasmanian coast in the Tasman Sea. The seafloor mapping project of Hyun Marine Park for Park Australia was carried out by the ship and crew.

This area of the ocean is boiling with amazing creatures, majestic underwater mountains and rocky coral trees – and it looks like this area is also a great place for skiing.
On Thursday morning, residents around the coast flooded local media with reports of meteors.
However, no one seems to have any images or footage of the incident – expect for the research team.
“Cameras are everywhere, in our pockets and around our cities, but they have to point in the right place at the right time – the RV investigators were at that place and at the right time,” Nagle said.
