An impressive #superbolide recorded yesterday South of Maunakea, #Hawaii over the #PacificOcean. Its luminous trajectory fits well to the #DeltaAquarids radiant, hopefully such origin is soon confirmed by additional images taken from another locations, and by US space satellites

Paper on the #superbolide over Spain a week ago. Highly eccentric which accounts for most of the excess atmospheric velocity over and above normal velocities (40km/sec vs 13-20 km/sec for most fireballs). Also 14° inclination helped increased the speed. researchgate.net/publication/38…

We completed a careful study of the 18 May #superbolide, obtaining its orbit from selected Red Investigación Bólidos y Meteoritos (SPMN) & European Space Agency #PlanetaryDefense ground stations. That orbit was compared with the one we computed from #US space sensors already listed in the #CNEOS fireball list Congrats to the team!

It seems that we were lucky and it will be possible to find out the magnitude and origin of #SPMN180224J. Now, from this impressive recording we can call it a #superbolide! Now checking if it was recorded from space... #CrossingFingers
