The British Fireball Alliance said, on Monday, that a meteor penetrated the Earth’s atmosphere over Britain on Sunday night, and this bright phenomenon was also detected in Iceland and the Netherlands.
Portions of the meteor may have landed north of Cheltenham, 140 kilometers northwest of London.
Especially bright meteors are called fire balls. Usually these rocks pass through space at high speed. When it enters the Earth’s atmosphere, it experiences resistance and decelerates, thus the heat and heat generated make this phenomenon visible in the night sky.
“According to the videos, the rock was traveling at 48,000 kilometers per hour,” said Ashley King of the Natural History Museum in London.
