Summary

Description	English: PIA22825: MISR Images Fireball Over Bering Sea The Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) instrument on NASA's Terra satellite captured a large fireball - or extremely bright and visible meteor - over the Bering Sea on 18 December 2018 at 23:55 UTC using five of the instrument's nine cameras. The fireball's explosion unleashed 173 kilotons of energy - more than 10 times what the atomic bomb unleashed over Hiroshima during World War II. The image shows the path the meteoroid traveled and its point of explosion (lower right). The shadow of the meteor's trail through Earth's atmosphere, cast on the cloud tops and elongated by the low sun angle, is to the northwest. More information about MISR is available at https://misr.jpl.nasa.gov/.
