Many people notice when looking at the sky that a wonderful meteor scene appears, but they are not lucky to catch it quickly and visually, but this Texas police officer managed to get a rare sight in the sky, when the camera in his car took a picture meteor It enters the Earth’s atmosphere with a green flash of bright light.
Dashcam is a video camera mounted on the dashboard or in the windshield of a car and used to continuously record the view of the road, traffic, etc. through the windshield of a car, and a meteor as it flies toward Earth, in eastern Travis County, which is located in south-central Texas, near From the city of Austin.
It also allowed us to see the meteor as it travels behind the clouds lit with a green light, apparently, falling from the sky in a vertical line, and it was bright at first, and then began to dim its brightness until it completely disappeared from view with the end of the recorded clip, according to the New York Post.
In addition, the Travis County Sheriff’s Office shared the footage on Twitter, and confirmed that celestial event It occurred on Thursday, February 17th, and it is also possible that the meteor will appear green as a result of various factors.
The dominant composition of meteorites can play an important role in the observed colors of the fireball, with some elements displaying distinct colors when they vaporize. For example, sodium produces a bright yellow color, nickel appears green and magnesium blue and white, the American Meteorite Society reported on her website.
It is worth noting that the speed of the meteor also has an important role, because the higher level of kinetic energy will intensify certain colors compared to other colors, and meteors often emit bright light when they enter the Earth’s atmosphere, where they burn due to the friction caused by this process.
Often, meteorites burn completely, but sometimes, meteorites can be found at the site of the impact, but it is not yet clear whether there was any debris from this meteorite that fell to Earth, and it is also unclear where exactly it landed and whether it was The authorities are looking for him.
As Dr. Hassan Ali Dal conducted a previous analysis following another strange green meteorite exploded in Turkey, it is likely that the space body contains large amounts of nickel, which gave it its green color, and meteor showers are often unexpected and difficult to photograph, so capturing scenes of one of them With a camera on board a car is an unprecedented event.
