Last week, an amazing astronomical event occurred over Australia when a rare meteor exploded in the sky. The phenomenon was accompanied by an intense green flash that could be seen hundreds of kilometers away, in addition to an impressive bang that left local residents in awe.
According to newspaper information The Guardian, the explosion generated by the meteor was so intense that it could be seen even in Normanton, located 600 km west of Cairns. The sound resulting from the explosion was especially audible in the city of Croydon, located 100 km east of Cairns.

On Friday, the 20th, around 9:22 am in Australia, the cameras installed at Cairns Airport, located in Queensland, captured an impressive celestial event. A meteor, classified as a bolide, crossed the sky and was recorded on video, which was later shared on the airport's official Facebook page.

These indications suggest that the space debris from the meteor penetrated the Earth's atmosphere in this specific region. The occurrence of this celestial phenomenon impressed local residents, who witnessed the visual and sound effects of the event.
According to information provided by Brad Tucker, an astrophysicist at the National University Australian in Canberra, the incident was caused by a rock with dimensions that did not exceed one meter width.
It is believed that the object was moving at an approximate speed of 150,000 km/h. However, it is unlikely that any fragments that fell to Earth will be of significant size, and more likely to be smaller in size.
According to the definition of the American Meteor Society, bolides are meteors that explode in the Earth's atmosphere due to the buildup of friction.
This process results in the instantaneous shattering of space rocks, which can generate an explosion of great intensity capable of producing a powerful sonic boom, which was exactly picked up by the Australians.
