Fragments of a large meteor that lit up the sky of Western Canada - mainly Alberta and Saskatchewan last week were found on the night between Thursday and Friday of this week. Scientists from the University of Calgary said they have located some of the fractures, and they will continue to search for additional fractures on the border between the two provinces.

Planetary scientist and geologist Dr. Alan Hildebrand, and research student Ellen Milley believe that thousands of pieces of the meteorite that weighed about 10 tons spread over an area of ​​about 20 square kilometers. The shot of the fireball was captured on a video camera of a police car in the city of Edmonton, Alberta.

The researchers did not reveal the exact area where the fragments were found, but only said that in general it is an area south of the community called Lloydminster, on the border between Alberta and Saskatchewan. Thousands of people saw the meteor cross the sky and explode on November 20. Countless security cameras and a number of amateur photographers who had just the right camera available. According to Hildebrand, this is one of the largest meteors seen in the country in the last decade.

The object was observed on November 20, around 17:30 local time (the same as US mountain time). The meteor split into several pieces in a series of explosions. These photos were taken by Andy Barlett, from the window of his home in Edmonton using a Canon A510 camera. "The bright fireball looks closer than the plane seen in the upper right corner of the video." (To watch the video from the website SPACE WEATHER).

Before the true identity of the object was known, some believed that it was part of a Russian missile, but this hypothesis was ruled out, and they had to wait for the fragments to be found to be sure that it was a meteor.

As mentioned, this is actually much smaller than the one that crashed In 1908 over Tunguska in Siberia. Large asteroids also come close to the Earth from time to time, but usually miss it, As happened in 2006.

  1. To Rabbi Nachman Parkash.
    Your words contradict themselves. Anmak:
    In the first sentence you state:
    "The Creator is great and wonderful - may the glory of his majesty increase there - Amen"
    The meaning of this sentence is that God's actions are beyond his understanding and the ability of a human being to understand.
    by any person or animal.
    And here, in the second sentence, immediately after your resolute assertion in your first sentence, you yourself inform us, what is your interpretation, (or perhaps someone of your acquaintance's), of the works of God, which you have just informed us, in the resolute introduction to your words that they are not open to interpretation by my sons Mortality. (This is a warning sign…..)
    The conclusions that arise, then, are one of two:
    Either you, you are not an ordinary mortal but a supreme angel from God's army.
    You reserve the right to try again.
    Blessings and success.

  2. The cool commenter:
    After all, it is written that even after it fell, it still took some time before they even knew for sure that it was a meteor, so easy...

  3. By the way, "Warning" evokes associations with "Amethyla": Goat-Hera..the mythological goat that adopted Zeus (the father of the dynasty of gods) for nothing, nice.

  4. I don't think they knew about this meteor, otherwise they would have photographed it professionally

  5. In honor of the rabbi,
    You are doing a great service to the religious faction, especially when you post the word "warning" under your real name.

    I wonder if our sky scanners knew and anticipated the entry of the object? If not, the rabbi's warning must be taken into account.

    Greetings friends,
    My mother chose

  6. The Creator is great and wonderful - may the glory of His Majesty increase there - Amen
    This is a warning signal from higher angels! The days of Gog and Magog are approaching and the Messiah of our righteousness is about to come!
    Repent before it's too late.

  7. It will be interesting to follow later.
    Phenomena such as these cause a lot of consequences.
    10 tons? According to what do you estimate the mass/weight of a meteor? (A question for reasons of ignorance..that is, who said that the estimates are indeed correct?).
