A meteor exploded over central Bosnia
This morning at 05:51 hours an extremely brilliant meteor exploded over central Bosnia, authorities announced from the Astronomical Society Orion from Sarajevo.
Despite partly cloudy weather this phenomenon has been registered in the Federal Hydrometeorological Institute in Sarajevo and the meteorological station Gradačac, where recently a meteor camera is set.
A joint project of the Federal Hydrometeorological Institute and Astronomical Society Orion from Sarajevo in Bosnia and Herzegovina on establishing a meteor network gives new results. From recordings from two stations is the trajectory of the body determined. A piece of cosmic material 'turned' on at an altitude of about 120 kilometers. After 36 km of flight, with an explosion the meteor shuts down at an altitude of 95 kilometers. At the moment of greatest shine the meteor had a magnitude of -4.5", cited from Orion.
