asteroid 2022 WJ1 Fireball 2022nov19 082652UTC
As you may have heard, a newly discovered 1m asteroid crashed into the atmosphere mere hours after discovery.
The UWO Allskycamera network captured it and was able to provide a lot of information (see below). Of note, Camera #10 located in Yarker, also captured the event!
This is the composite image.
Below is the 6 second video (out of a 15 second event) that we captured, just barely over the horizon and through some trees in our SouthWest:
From UWO:
As many of you will know from media reports, asteroid 2022 WJ1 fell right in the middle of the network over the weekend (0326 on Saturday night to be exact). We will be sending out a public call for people to keep an eye out for meteorites as we think some may be on shore near Grimsby (map attached).
