Massive Green Fireball Explodes Over Australian Airport
A meteor exploded over northern Queensland, Australia, on Saturday night, with the bright green light visible for miles around. The meteor was captured on various cameras, including one at Cairns airport. Experts believe the rock was less than a meter in size and was traveling at over 93,000 miles per hour. The explosion caused a sonic boom, which is the most worrisome part of the meteor, according to an astrophysicist. Meteors like this appear once a month or so, but most of the time, they happen in uninhabited areas and go unnoticed.
