VIDEO: An asteroid hit Earth’s atmosphere and lit up the sky over Paris

An asteroid gave a unique light show in the early morning of this Monday February 13th, when it crossed the sky north of France.

The small meteorite, just a meter in diameter, burned up when it hit Earth’s atmosphere without representing any threat or danger for those who were in the area and could see it “up close”.

He SAR2667 -as science called it- had been discovered a few hours earlier impact and disintegrate.

The passage of the meteorite occurred at 03:59 local time (23:59 in Argentina) and could be seen on Paristhe north of Francethe south of Great Britain, Belgium AND Holland.

His fiery journey through the dark sky through the atmosphere showed a shocking light show which immediately multiplied from different perspectives through social networks.

According to reports from the European Space Agency, the asteroid was initially discovered in a Hungarian observatory. Krisztián Sárneczky was responsible for the discovery.

Later, the information was confirmed by another in Croatia. Finally, the Sar2667 was recorded by eight observers who were able to determine up to 36 observations of its rapid trajectory towards the planet.

As indicated terrestrialconsidering the small size of the object moving in space, it is surprising that it was discovered before it hit the atmosphere and disintegrated.

​Because of its small size, right from the start it was excluded that it was dangerous and the possibility that it could fall intact on surface. However, it remains to be seen if some pieces fell to the ground and can be retrieved for analysis.

In this sense the last asteroid discovered just before the collision against the earth, 2022 WJ1flown over Canada on November 19, 2022, details the site specializing in astronomy.

Also, this item sar2667hit our planet’s atmosphere about to complete the tenth anniversary of the Chelyabinsk explosion over Russia. That object hit on Feb. 15, 2013, creating a shock wave that broken windows in various cities from that country.

Asteroid 2023 BU: another impactful discovery

the asteroid 2023 bu It was discovered last Saturday, January 21, and caused a stir in the world of astronomy as it made its way towards our planet at a speed of 53,000 kilometers per hour.

According to what was published by various media outlets at the time, the 2023 bu It was only three percent of the average distance between the Earth and the Moon, which represented a incredibly close rangethe experts said.

Against this calculation, the huge space rock it was the fourth-closest to Earth’s surface, among Earth’s 35,000 past and future meteors and asteroids, according to data compiled by NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) during the 300 years from 1900 to 2200.

But beyond how close the asteroid was when it entered Earth, what had been ruled out to scientists from the start was the possibility of a collision.
