Where did the #Winchcombe meteorite come from? And how did it end up crash landing on a driveway? New paper about the #fireball from @sarahmcmullan92 @meteordoc @haaadry et al. @UKMeteorNetwork @FireballsUK @UK_Fireball onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
Great 🧵 about the #Winchcombe fireball from @meteordoc

Really excited to see what this instrument can do for meteor science, too. It should be able to catch large bolides (which will look similar to the lightning flashes it’s designed to detect). Could be helpful for @UK_Fireball meteorite recovery work.

A pretty bright #meteor widely seen over southeastern England at 10:36pm on Easter Monday. Taken by an AllSky7 fireball camera - see allsky7.net for how to get your own system.
Some great clips appearing of a bright meteor bolide that was widely seen from the UK, France, Belgium & the Netherlands during twilight yesterday morning. Reports here: fireball.imo.net/members/imo_vi… & videos at youtu.be/Otp83cWW5Mo and below. @UK_Fireball

Newly-discovered asteroid 2023 DZ2 will sail safely past Earth today. Asteroids pass our planet safely all the time, but a close approach by one of this size (140–310 ft, or 43–95 m) happens only about once per decade. (There is no known threat for at least the next 100 years.)
Thank you all who cake to my LPSC talk yesterday. As nerve racking as it was, I really enjoyed presenting and answering all the thought-provoking questions that came my way. #LPSC2023
Great news! A piece of asteroid #2023CX1 (#SAR2667) from the #fireball over the English Channel on 13th February 2023, has been recovered by #FRIPON/@VigieCiel in Seine Maritime! Congratulations to the team on a successful search! ☄️ @SCAMP_Meteors @FireballsUK @UKMeteorNetwork

A piece of asteroid #2023CX1 (#SAR2667), which created the large #fireball observed over the English Channel on 13th Feb, has been recovered by #FRIPON/@VigieCiel in Seine Maritime ☄️ Congratulations to all! 🙌 Bring on the #Science!! @SCAMP_Meteors @UK_Fireball @FireballsUK

Watch the skies tonight for a potential #fireball visible from northern France and Germany, as well as many places in the UK. The object, #asteroid #Sar2667, is estimated at ~1m in size and predicted to harmlessly impact at approx. 03:07 UTC. ☄️
Asteroid folks using telescopes where it is currently night take note: New discovery #Sar2667 with potential impact over western Europe in just under 6 hours - cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/scout/#/object… .
@UKMeteorNetwork It's a gorgeous #fireball!!! Was also caught by the @SCAMP_Meteors camera @jodrellbank
Sounds like a really nice meteor fireball was seen quite widely over the UK at around 20:01UT. Here’s the first public video I’ve seen of it (below). Quick scan of @UKMeteorNetwork’s excellent live fireball webpage shows it was also picked up by their network cameras too.

If you were an eyewitness or have footage of tonight's #fireball over the UK, please submit a report with @UKMeteorNetwork at: ukmon.imo.net/members/imo/re This information is very useful and can help us to map the trajectory of the fireball and recover any potential #meteorites ☄️

If you have security cam/dashcam footage, or saw the fireball, do submit a report via @UKMeteorNetwork at: ukmon.imo.net/members/imo/re… Eyewitness info can be really useful for building a picture of the event, and can help teams like @UK_Fireball do their work.

A 2 kg rocky meteoroid observed in February 2021 is shown to be coming directly from the Oort cloud, indicative of a high ice/rock ratio there (1-20%) and supportive of a massive proto-asteroid belt scenario. Vida (@meteordoc) et al.: nature.com/articles/s4155…

Had a great time running a @UK_Fireball Winchcombe themed festive sing along today with @Daly_Planet 🎄☄️💫
Entertaining & informative seminar by @Daly_Planet and @aineclareob about the Winchcombe meteorite to finish our 2022 series. If you're looking for a double-act for your pantomime this year they even write their on songs.
Last night was the peak of the #Geminids #Meteorshower. Here's my capture of the evening from my Global Meteor Network camera: @Raspberry_Pi @UKMeteorNetwork @UK_Fireball
You may have seen reports recently that @UK_Fireball teams have been in the Cotswolds looking for a new meteorite fall. Despite extensive searches we’ve not yet recovered anything. But how do we get to this point in the first place? This animation explains the process.
Work studying the Winchcombe meteorite ☄️🔥involving @EarthSolarSystm meteorite and atmospheric scientists from @UoM_EES and the wider UK Cosmochemistry and @UK_Fireball communities published science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… . Big 👏 @NHM_Meteorites team for sample care and curation
There are more than 120 authors on the @ScienceAdvances paper about the #Winchcombe #Meteorite - the first scholarly publication. In a nice touch, those authors include the town's people who donated fallen material to the national collection. 😍 bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…
And the word is out in Science Advances! A testament to scientific collaboration and the UKs excellent planetary science community. Kudos to all involved, especially colleagues at @NHM_Meteorites, @UofGlasgow and @UK_Fireball for fronting everything. A cracking meteorite!!
1/6 Researchers from the @OpenUniversity have been studying the #Winchcombe #meteorite as part of a larger scientific consortium analysis. Our findings were published today in @ScienceAdvances. Read more here: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Our first big (and it really is big!) paper about our pal #Winchcombe is out today in @ScienceAdvances , mega props to @Daly_Planet and @AshleyJKing85 for writing & coordinating the paper (+@UK_Fireball without whom we wouldn’t have the stone!) ♥️☄️

BREAKING 🚨: Large meteor spotted burning up over Scotland and Northern Ireland
If only @UK_Fireball had a time machine...
Did you know that Geophysical Journal International began as a supplement to Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society? Looking through the GJI archive has revealed some hidden gems, such as detailed observations of a meteor which descended over Yorkshire in 1926! 🌠
Big Scottish #fireball last night? @UKMeteorNetwork @FireballsUK @UK_Fireball
I feel honored to be part of the team chosen to study the organic matter & water in these enigmatic samples, investigating the organic & volatile evolution of #asteroid #Ryugu. Our sincere thanks to @JAXA_en for this amazing opportunity. @haya2e_jaxa @NHM_Meteorites @RHULEarthSci
Dr Queenie Chan is leading on researching samples from Ryugu asteroid from the Hayabusa2 mission to find out its secrets on how water and organics formed on the asteroid to give us clues about our own planet. Read the article here: bit.ly/3vIebj0 @NHM_London @UniKent
@benjamintsmith7 @RuthHolliday1 @KeyTravel The whole system is designed to make money siphoned from our grants and allowances. I used to get travel approval, book and pay for cheap but reputable flights and hotels, then get reimbursed. Saved much money and admin time. Now far too many admin people, often doubling cost.
The famous Rho Ophiuchi nebula complex (+ globular clusters M4 & M80) taken from the Jurassic Coast on Friday night. This region is pretty low down from here in the UK, so deep imaging (with no astro darkness!) is tricky through low-altitude haze & airglow. #astrophotography
We used over 500 #globalmeteornetwork cameras world-wide to measure the activity of the #TauHerculids2022. The shower peaked at a solar longitude 69.42° +/- 0.2° (May 31, 04:15 UT) with a ZHR of about 28 +/- 2. Unfortunately no storm, but still an exciting shower! #Meteorshower
Here's a rough-&-ready image down the #microscope eye piece showing a new collection of #fossil #micrometeorites I am working on. Ancient cosmic dust that fell to #Earth, settled to the seafloor & became part of marine sediments. More news to come on this one...
