Meteor in Tasmania captured on film as it explodes
The live-stream camera on board the CSIRO’s research vessel Investigator operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, but rarely does it pick up a remarkable event.
Just before 9.30pm on Wednesday, crew on board the vessel about 100 kilometres south of Tasmania were treated to the sight of a meteor breaking up over the ocean.
The bright flash of light, which appeared green to the naked eye but was captured on video in black and white, descended from space and disintegrated before their eyes.
