From time to time, we are lucky enough to witness the odd astronomical object<\/a> with the naked eye. At the beginning of the month, we contemplated with our own eyes<\/a> the approach of the \u201cgreen comet\u201d, the C\/2022 E3 (ZTF)<\/a>, which passed \u201cbrushing\u201d our planet almost 42 million kilometers from our atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The approach of this \u201cnear-Earth object<\/a>” was already planned in the 2023 astronomical calendar, which lists all those events that will take place in our skies and that can be followed through the sky map app<\/a>. But some of these celestial bodies, the smallest, are not detected until they enter our atmosphere or even upon impact on Earth<\/a>, something that is already changing with the advancement of science.<\/p>\n\n\n

On the night of February 12-13<\/a>, a small asteroid impacted the English Channel after entering the Earth’s atmosphere and producing a “ball of fire”. According to The Telegraph<\/a>, this meteoroid measured<\/a> 1 meter and was sighted shortly before 4 pm (Spanish time).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
