Q1 2026: Has Something Changed in the Near-Earth Fireball Environment? — American Meteor Society

So far, looking statistically confirmed: we are getting more "large fireballs" in the sky lately.

893-DarkSky Oregon Artificial light at night also known as light pollution is degrading human safety and health as well as damaging the natural environment on which we all depend. The loss of the connection with the natural night sky has happened over the past 100 years. Restoring the natural night sky is relatively simple and can even save money. Before restoration can effectively begin it is essential to make night sky brightness measurements in both natural night sky and urban locations.

Theatrical poster for Meteor (1979) starring Sean Connery, Natalie Wood and a very shouty Martin Landau.

Now watching #Meteor. Why? Because it randomly appeared on YouTube as “Watch Free With Ads” and I thought. Yeah, why not. So far, zero ads during the movie. 💪

UK and France begin work on Meteor successor missile The United Kingdom and France have signed an agreement to begin studying a next-generation air-to-air missile to succeed Meteor, one of Europe’s most advanced beyond-visual-range weapons.

382E-418-Fireball II Recently there were four fireball meteors, brighter than the planet Venus, which exploded over Germany, France, Ohio, and Arizona within the space of only 10 hours. A total of 1320 individuals were treated to light shows and reported their observations to the American Meteor Society. The one which exploded over Arizona was probably several feet in diameter and entered the Earth's atmosphere over Flagstaff. This event was observed in Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, and Colorado. It was recorded by numerous electronic security and dashboard cameras and was visible for from 3 to 7 seconds. This meteor also produced a booming sound which was reported by about a dozen different observers. The fireball was last seen over Happy Jack, Arizona and is likely to have produced meteorite fragments which are scattered along Interstate 17 somewhere in the rugged country between Phoenix and Flagstaff. There are likely to be on the order of 1,000 fireball events over the Earth every day. Most of them occur over the oceans or during the day and pass unobserved by humans. During the first 10 months of 2017 the most energetic fireball event occurred when a meteoroid entered the Earth's atmosphere at 8.5 miles/second above the ocean between Australia and Antartica. If you record a fireball with your dash cam or security camera report it to the American Meteor Society. Your data will be very important in finding out where it came from in the solar system as well as to indicate where it might be possible to find pieces of it on the ground.

Fireball over Northern Washington NASA Skyfall event 20260329-033429 — 03/29/2026 03:34 UTC

☄️ NASA Skyfall Alert: Fireball over Northern Washington (03/29/2026). Speed: 17.2 km/s (38,475 mph). Altitude: 80.3–48.7 km (50–30 mi). #meteor #fireball #NASA

The moon sits above the center of the frame, with a meteor angled diagonally below pointing down left. There are thin cirrus clouds that make a haze around the moon. Stars dot the sky, most are washed out by the bright moon. There are houses on the horizon.

Crop of meteor from previous frame showing some detail. The tail is slightly reddish, body slightly yellow/green. It is thin and neatly tapered with a slight terminal bulb on the red (upper) end.

Q1 2026: Has Something Changed in the Near-Earth Fireball Environment? — American Meteor Society

(1/2) Interesting overview of the spike in large #fireball / #meteor reports in the last few weeks from the American Meteor Society.

"What this is, is a measurable change in the AMS fireball data that we do not yet fully understand."

892-140m-asteroids Humans can mitigate the damage done by the impact of an asteroid given a sufficient lead time. In 1998, the US Congress mandated NASA to detect and track 90% of the 1 km sized asteroids capable of effecting local mass destruction as well as global disruption of agriculture and other human activities. This goal has been accomplished. In 2005 Congress extended the mandate to require NASA to detect and track 90% of the 140-m asteroids capable of destroying a large metropolitan area.

A mostly monochrome doodle of Meteor from Final Fantasy 14. He is sitting on the ground, shirtless, raising a sake cup to someone off screen. His scars are glowing of a golden yellow, along with the sake gourd and cup. In the background, the Bravura, an axe, is seen planted in the ground.

Helios of gold, carrying the sun.
Rise, morning star, bright and burning.
May your smile forever shine, Never fade away.

Just saw a meteor ... bright yellow ... 65° high to begin, then down towards the SW, disappearing at 20° to the horizon. 9:41 pm ET in London ON. Cool. #meteor #astronomy

381E-417-Red Dwarf Planets Astronomers continue to be delighted when they discover an Earth sized planet. Scientists were thus very disappointed when the red dwarf star hosting the nearest such planet, Proxima b some 4.2 light years away, turns out to have the nasty habit of emitting bursts of radiation which are likely to sterilize and/or remove the atmospheres of it's family of planets. Recently, hope of finding a nearby Earth was rekindled when scientists at the European Southern observatory in Chile discovered a small planet circling what appears to be a quiet well behaved red dwarf star 11 light years from us. Astronomers are not yet sure that this newly discovered Earth sized planet lies within it's stars habitable zone where liquid water could exist on it's surface. Jumping the gun, ET enthusiasts have beamed a friendly message in the direction of another nearby red dwarf planet system. Their target the super Earth planet, GJ 273b is located some 12.4 light years away near the bright star Sirius in the constellation of Canis Major. At this distance a civilization on GJ 273b could have already received a picture of humanity by deciphering 'I love Lucy' and other TV signals it has been picking up for 50 years or so. The next generation of very large telescopes will allow astronomers to search for the presence of oxygen and other molecules which indicate the presence of life in the atmospheres of nearby worlds. In the mean time we have more reasons to be thankful for what we have here on planet Earth. For Travelers in the Night this is Dr. Al Grauer.

‘Kinda terrifying.’ Colorful fireball streaks across SLO County sky. Did you see it? One viewer said they thought it was a missile at first.
