Meteor lights up night sky in Australia
December 5th, 2005 Posted in geek
A Perth astronomer says a spectacular light show in the sky last night was a meteor.
Sightings were made as far south as Albany and inland through the Wheat Belt.
Peter Birch, from Astronomy West, estimates the meteor was about the size of a basketball.
Missed this one, looks like it was quite a show however. Peter Birch mentioned in the story was Nay’s astronmy lecturer at ECU. Awesome bloke!
Video of the event can be found here.
