Moon Size Meteor Illuminates Japan Sky
Dec 01, 2020
A huge meteor was spotted in the sky across Japan and people reacted in different ways. Various pictures and videos on the internet showed the meteor glowing as it descended through the earth’s atmosphere. Public broadcaster NHK said that their cameras from central prefectures of Aichi, Mie and several other areas captured the fireball in the sky.
According to local reports, the fireball, believed to be a bolide — a type of shooting star often compared to a full moon for its brightness – was spotted clearly from parts of western and central Japan.
In the footage we can see the meteor glowing bright as it quickly shot through the sky and then disappeared.
Here is the video:
