NCC1701 Posted December 1, 2018 #5 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I saw more bright green meteors the last two months then ever before. Earth must be going through some trail of asteroid debris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qxcontinuum Posted December 2, 2018 #6 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Dash cams are not just popular but are required by insurance companies. A good reason many celestial events are caught by cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and I guess it also helps that Russia is the biggest country on Earth, and the bigger a country is the more likely it is that a random meteor coming towards Earth will come to that country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waspie_Dwarf Posted December 4, 2018 #9 Share Posted December 4, 2018 7 hours ago, Jon the frog said: A copper rich meteor ? More likely nickel: Quote The dominant composition of a meteoroid can play an important part in the observed colors of a fireball, with certain elements displaying signature colors when vaporized. For example, sodium produces a bright yellow color, nickel shows as green, and magnesium as blue-white.

It's why I use ''?'' because normally you don't have a lot of copper in it... was thinking that nickel was burning silver-white because it does in flame test...
