It's fireball season. On 28th February, an approximately -20 mg bright one was seen from Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Well, not exactly seen, as most of the area was covered with thick clouds, but the short brightening to almost daylight was noticed everywhere. The media covered it many times over the next week, asking for video tapes and such, and interviewing (almost exclusively!) astronomers. (Nice break from the hype of the upcoming elections in Hungary...)
Here is the best recording so far, couldn't find it elsewhere like youtube, only at the Hungarian TV channel RTL Klub, so ignore the talk. Except where the two experts cheer. No meteorites found so far, most of it likely evaporated. http://www.rtlhirek.hu/video/84397 Lower quality, only in the corner shot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvJkhiUUAT8 Best part: and astrologer said, and I quote here, "examining such celestial phenomena is not part of astrology and only superstitious people think that falling stars could effect their horoscopes." |
