The Amazing Imagery Of A Meteorite Landing In The UAE

Avatar

We kid you not.

A report from the UAE’s National Astronomy Centre states a meteorite landed in the Abu Dhabi desert last week and now experts are searching for the debris.

Meteorites are solid debris, formed from an object such as a comet or an asteroid that originates in outer space and survives passage through the atmosphere to reach the surface of a planet or moon… when it enters the atmosphere it generates energy and forms a meteor, or a fireball.

This fireball was recorded at 7.40pm on March 5
