Security cameras in Queensland, Australia, captured footage of a meteor blazing brightly in the sky on Saturday night. The video was posted on Facebook* by Cairns Airport, the state capital’s international air hub. In the background of the video, a bright white plume can be seen thrusting towards Earth, turning bright green as it burns and burns. exponentially brighter. Eventually it disappears behind a nearby mountain and a brighter flare is seen emanating from the area. Soon, other videos that also captured the phenomenon began to circulate on social media. The color of a meteorite burns when it is burned by contact with the Earth’s atmosphere. determined by its chemical content. Green-burning meteorites, like the one seen Saturday, contain large amounts of magnesium ore, while those containing basic iron burn yellow. According to local media, Queensland authorities are not sure whether the meteorite impacted the Earth or exploded, and a hunt for the meteorite has gone up. About 17,000 meteorites survive the perilous journey through Earth’s atmosphere each year, though essentially all are very small and insignificant beyond scientific interest.

Meteorites are asteroids or specks of interstellar dust that glow brightly when they fall to Earth, heating up in the planet’s atmosphere. Even a small rock can pack a lot of energy, with the 59-foot-wide Chelyabinsk meteorite creating an explosion equivalent to 500 kilotons of TNT.
