Mexico City: A bright object, which initially appears to be a meteorite, burnt the sky around 3 pm on Wednesday in the capital of Mexico, which is spread over plains, volcanoes and small towns.
A video of a ball shooting on the Latin American country and the light of light on the Mexico City disintegrated into many – and quickly became a fuel for the memes who wandered on social media.
“No, the meteorite that occurred last night is not an excuse to talk to your former,” someone wrote on X, on a dinosaur running through a meteorite shower.
Soon, photos of fireball edited with cartoon characters and political jokes flooded the internet.
Scientists in Mexico were in a hurry to note that object rocketing in the sky was not a meteorite; It was a bold.
Bolids defined as a fireball by NASA, “exceptionally bright meteors that are fantastic seen in a very luxurious field.”
Mario Rodriguez, a doctor in space science with the National Autonomous University in Mexico, said it could also be described as a meteorite, or a meteor piece.
The Mexican sky on Wednesday, as if they land on the earth, catch fire.
“Due to great pressure on the object, they begin to flash with a stretching tail and emit light,” Rodriguez said, “One of the group of scientists surprised people from many Mexico studying a video studying a video.” He said that unlike meteorites, which affects the Earth, disintegrates in a bolid environment.
This especially meteorite, he said, was about 1.5 meters (5 feet) in length and there was no threat to the public.
