Space Events

All Sky Fireball Network

Every night, a network of NASA all-sky cameras scans the skies above the United States for fireballs - meteors brighter than Venus. Automated software maintained by NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office calculates their orbits, velocity, penetration depth in Earth's atmosphere and many other characteristics. Daily results are presented on Spaceweather.com. On Oct. 14, the network detected 7 fireballs.
