It’s just a short, bright – but violent and spectacular spectacle: last Thursday a so-called bolide (meteor) fell in the Lembach area (The Hague in Lower Austria) – and two fist-sized and countless small pieces. The Natural History Museum is now calling for the search for the remains of celestial matter.
About 100 tons per day: But it is very rare for celestial bodies so large and orbiting to hit Earth that they become a glowing fireball.
This happened last Thursday around 9:30 PM over the region above Lembach and Bachlerboden (municipality of Hague, Lower Austria). Observing precisely this brief moment when the explosion flares up is a coincidence or stroke of luck. You have a better chance of finding the remains on the ground – in this case, the Natural History Museum estimates there should be about two fist-sized pieces and several small pieces.
These remains when a meteor explodes – the meteorite pieces – are scattered on the ground and are usually not difficult to find. The Natural History Museum is now calling for the search for astronomical material.
A ‘scientific approach’ is required for discoveries – more information about this
