Green Fireball Captured While Striking Over Thailand’s Sky
A huge green fireball lit up Thailand’s sky on the 2nd of November, captivating the locals who were scared but at the same time intrigued by this spectacular phenomenon known as the Taurid meteor shower.
This year is expected to be a bit more special as the Taurids will be more active than usual, meaning that the meteorites will be more numerous and at the same time more enforced. This spectacular event happens when Earth passes through a large area containing debris left by Comet Encke. The shower peak is expected to run Nov. 5 through Nov. 12, but apparently Thailand had the privilege to be one of the first countries to witness it.
NASA scientist, Bill Cooke, gave an advice about when it’s the best time to experience this:
“Taurid meteors can be seen any time the constellation Taurus is above the horizon during the months of September, October, and November. The best time to look for Taurids is after midnight, when Taurus is high in the sky, and when the sky is dark and clear, with no moonlight to mask the fainter meteors.”
If you plan to see some spectacular sightings now it’s the perfect occasion, so get hold of your gear, find a remote, dark place, preferably away from the city lights and pollutants and see how space manifests during this meteorite-active period, and who knows what other bizarre things might show up. Stay vigilant!
