The UK branch of the Global Fireball Observatory. Run by @imperialcollege @UofGGES and @OpenUniversity in collaboration with @FireballsSky to find meteorites
If you would like to #volunteer to be a citizen scientist for the UKFN. As well as following us on here, you can subscribe to our mailing list where we will send out the call to arms for any #meteorite recovery expedition @UofGlasgow@imperialcollege https://t.co/D4cW6H5cdz
☄️🎆Incoming! The ninth ever immininent impactor has been discovered by the Catalina Sky Survey this morning. There will be a harmless, but likely spectacular fireball in about 8 hours, caused by a small ~1 metre diameter object entering Earth's atmosphere near the Philippines.
Here's the full video of the asteroid #Sar2736, a ~1 m object that broke up some 50 m west of #Belin, #Germany, and probably dropped some meteorites on the ground. Video credit: https://t.co/72o6ZzPNz8
☄️💥Incoming! The next immininent impactor discovered by @sarneczky will enter the atmosphere harmlessly but with a nice bright fireball within the next half hour.
Another gorgeous #fireball seen over the UK at 6.10 pm this evening!
Lots of nice videos out there & here it is caught on a @SCAMP_Meteors camera in N. Ireland @UK_Fireball

An entire winter's crop of bright meteors can now be harvested from the comfort of the fireside, thanks to low-light meteor cameras and the work of @meteordoc @UKMeteorNetwork @FireballsUK and friends. Can you spot the imposters?
