apparently, there was a giant #fireball outside at 10:27pm last night. Took more than 15 seconds to cross the sky! This view from my office window. #lookup #space

Only four days after the Ohio event another daylight #fireball yesterday, this time over Texas and again with at least one meteorite fall: https://ares.jsc.nasa.gov/meteorite-falls/events/houston-tx (with early strewnfield map) and https://fireball.amsmeteors.org/members/imo_view/event/2026/1959.

Multi-Sensor Trajectory Reconstruction of the 24 April 2025 Alaska #Fireball and Implications for Planetary Defense: https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.22630 -> "On 24 April 2025 at 18:30:57 UTC, a bright daytime fireball over Southcentral Alaska was detected by 37 seismic stations, 16 single infrasound sensors, and four infrasound arrays, yielding 30 ballistic and multiple fragmentation arrivals. The unprecedented density of seismoacoustic coverage enabled detailed reconstruction of the event using acoustic signals, with fragmentation source locations further guiding the identification of Doppler weather radar signatures of a meteorite fall. Incorporation of a radar-derived terminal point yielded a final trajectory solution, which agreed closely with an independent optical trajectory solution from video analysis. [...] This uniquely well-recorded event demonstrates the capability of dense seismoacoustic networks to constrain bolide trajectories, energetics, and fragmentation, with radar and optical data providing critical confirmation and complementary perspectives."
