Vielleicht habt ihr ja aus den Zeitungen davon erfahren. Vor vier Tagen am 13. Februar 2023 schlug ein Meteor um 02:59 UTC in der Normandie ein. Das Objekt war weniger als sieben Stunden vorher von einem ungarischen Astronomen auf Aufnahmen mit einer Schmidt-Kamera entdeckt worden, als es bereits auf die Erde zuraste und nur noch 0,61 LD entfernt war:
2023 CX1
At 02:59:21 UTC (local time 03:59:21 a.m. CET), 2023 CX1 entered the atmosphere at a velocity of 14.5 km/s (9.0 mi/s) with an inclination 40–50° relative to the vertical. As the meteoroid travelled eastward over the English Channel to the coast of Normandy, France, it experienced significant atmospheric drag and began burning up as a bright meteor at an altitude of 89 km. The meteor was seen by witnesses from France, Great Britain, Belgium, the Netherlands, and northern Spain. The meteor began fragmenting at an altitude of 29 km and then completely broke apart at 28 km, producing a bright flash due to the rapid vaporization of its fragments. In the process, the meteor released a great amount of kinetic energy that produced a shock wave, which was heard by some witnesses and was detected by French seismographs.
Wie von S&T berichtet, wurde bereits ein 100 g großes Fragment gefunden:
