To determine if a meteor produced a particular sound, it’s important to understand the phenomena associated with meteor sounds. Meteors, or meteorites once they reach Earth’s surface, can create sounds due to sonic booms, but this typically occurs only in larger meteors that survive high-speed entry into the Earth’s atmosphere. The sound is often heard […]

Southern Victoria offers several excellent locations for stargazing due to its relatively clear skies and minimal light pollution in certain areas. One of the most renowned spots is the Mornington Peninsula, particularly around the Point Nepean National Park. This area provides expansive ocean views and less light interference, making it ideal for observing stars. Another […]

The collapse of the universe, or the end of the universe as we know it, is a concept associated with theories like the Big Crunch, where the universe could stop expanding and start contracting, possibly ending in a collapse. However, the experience of time inside a black hole is a separate and uniquely esoteric concept. […]

To determine if a supernova occurred near the Andromeda galaxy, we need to rely on astronomical observations and reports usually conducted by observatories and amateur astronomers. Supernovae are relatively rare events in any one particular galaxy, and their detection depends on timing, the area being monitored, and the sensitivity of the instruments involved. The Andromeda […]

Under typical conditions and with Earth-based telescopes, stars appear as point sources of light due to their immense distances, making it challenging to resolve their discs. Most visible stars in the night sky, even through powerful telescopes, appear as points because their angular size is too small to detect. However, advancements in telescope technology have […]

“What type of flash did I capture above Orion’s Belt when extending a line through the three stars upwards?”

The flash you captured could likely be a man-made satellite flare or an astronomical phenomenon. If the flash was brief and bright, it might have been an Iridium flare. Iridium satellites, part of an older communication network, have antennas that can reflect sunlight, creating bright flares visible from Earth. These flares are transient and can […]

Meteorites, typically small fragments of larger space rocks that survive their fiery descent through Earth’s atmosphere, are generally thought to strike the surface at significant speeds, resulting in an explosive and forceful impact. This is because they travel through the atmosphere at tremendous velocities, often exceeding 30,000 miles per hour. As they descend, the friction […]
