They see another bright meteor in the sky of Puerto Rico

A spectacular car (bright meteor) was visible at 11:21 p.m. Sunday 24 hours, the Society for Astronomy of the Caribbean (SAC) reported.

He pointed out that it was visible from all over the island, looking southwest. “It was really bright, as the images show that it briefly lit up other parts of the sky,” the organization noted.

He added that the reports indicate that during the brief moments it was visible, the meteor displayed beautiful colors that seemed to alternate between blue-green turquoise, then yellow-orange, and turquoise again, as seen in images captured by the educational entity. .

“After analyzing the meteor’s trajectory, it was confirmed to be from the constellation of Cancer, so it was a different ‘Delta Cancrid’, like other bright meteors seen from the island in recent nights,” the SAC said.

The fragments that cause the Delta Cancrids orbit similar to that of the asteroid 2001 YB5, so it cannot be ruled out that they are debris released by these space rock. The organization had expected another bright meteor to be seen until January 24, as it happened. However, the remarkable activity of bright meteors suggests that additional meteors are likely to be observed for at least a few weeks, it was noted.

The SAC urged us to appreciate our skies from time to time as you can also see a sporadic meteor at any time.
