And ask: what is this?

Chairman of Hangzhou Astronomical Society:

This is a rare "fireball"

What exactly is this "fireball"? The reporter contacted the chairman of Hangzhou Astronomical Society, with the net name "Caesar".

"Caesar" told reporters that astronomy enthusiasts in Jinhua, Pujiang and Lanxi also saw this phenomenon and responded that the local glass was vibrating and there was a loud noise. This is indeed a very good opportunity to popularize astronomical knowledge to the public.

This time is just one of the three major meteor showers every year.

When the Gemini meteor shower is dense, its annual flow is very stable, generally around double twelve, with the maximum value last night and the largest number. "

The chunk we see is actually one of them, which is a fragment produced by an asteroid in the solar system. Debris is distributed throughout the planetary orbit of the sun. "

The earth rotates once a year, just intersecting the trajectory of its debris. After the intersection, some fragments fall into the atmosphere under the influence of the earth's gravity, and intense friction will produce light. This asteroid is very unique. The gradient color is a little green at first. This is an obvious feature of Gemini asteroids. The light is particularly bright and the burning is very strong.

We have a name "Fireball".

Most meteorites burn out in the atmosphere. Generally, you can't land. If they are lucky enough to fall to the ground, they are very precious. As big as this one, it may fall to the ground, depending on where it falls.

The reporter recently learned that this bright burning meteor finally landed in Chengtou Village, Pujiang County, Jinhua City. A local resident told Yangzi Evening News/Niuzi News reporter that when the incident happened, they heard a loud noise at home and the house shook, "like thunder, it lit up the outside. The location of the fall was dozens of meters away from my home, and a pit was smashed on the road. Later I was arrested and handed over to the police. "

The Niuzi journalist learned that the suspected meteorite has been handed over to the local government department for investigation and verification.

According to Pujiang County Media Center, the suspected meteorite is 8 cm long and weighs 3 kg and 4 liang. The final determination of meteorites needs the analysis and identification of astronomical experts. According to local residents, the meteorite suspected of falling did not cause any loss to others except the pit on the road.

In recent years, meteorites have also been found in many parts of the country. Some netizens are curious: Should "alien objects" belong to the discoverer or the local government? In this regard, Fu Jian, director of Henan Jinze Law Firm, believes that "if it is a meteorite with important scientific research value and belongs to the category of natural resources, then according to Article 250 of the Civil Code, the meteorite should belong to the state. If the meteorite has no scientific research value, then the principle of preemption in the Civil Code can be applied and owned by the discoverer. If the meteorite with scientific research value is handed over to the state, then the state should give the discoverer a certain reward. "
