@homesickalien80@NASASpaceAlerts This is possibly debris from Halley’s Comet, the Aquarids. Not sure how big that debris is but something bigger would be visible. This is small stuff.
.@NOAA experts say the record-breaking fourth global #CoralBleaching event likely ended in mid-2025 after heat stress impacted 84% of the world’s #CoralReef areas. Scientists are now studying reefs that showed signs of resilience despite the extreme heat exposure.
Although this event appears to have subsided, global heat stress still persists as ocean temperatures remain unusually warm. NOAA is forecasting continued bleaching risks for this summer and fall in the Northern Hemisphere.

New England 🤙 We’re headed to Rhode Island and stoked to take on Saturday Island Rhodes alongside the homies @SlightlyStoopid. Single-day tickets go on sale June 4 at 10AM ET.
UPDATE: @NASA can confirm a fireball over New England at 2:06 p.m. EDT on Saturday, May 30, 2026. The meteor was about 5 feet (1.6 meters) in diameter with a mass of 5.6 metric tons and entered Earth’s atmosphere at roughly 42,000 mph.
The meteor traveled through the atmosphere from northwest to southeast for 26 miles before breaking up at an altitude of 31 miles and producing a meteorite fall into Cape Cod Bay.
Based on the latest data, the energy released at breakup is estimated to be equivalent to about 230 tons of TNT, which accounts for the sonic boom.

No unmanned aircraft are permitted in the following areas from June 1 until July 20, 2026, according to the FAA. The time coincides with sites being used for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
NOAA’s GOES 19 captured images of a massive flash over Cape Cod Bay. It’s believed that a meteor broke up in the atmosphere, causing an explosion that was heard throughout New England.
This NOAA product which measures I think some sort of energy definitely shows that explosion in the atmosphere over Cape cod bay. This is what we all heard. Just a little bigger than the tree I thought went down. #boom
