November 06, 2013 - SPACE - Every night, a network of NASA all-sky cameras scans the skies above the United States for meteoritic fireballs.
Automated software maintained by NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office calculates their orbits, velocity, penetration depth in Earth's atmosphere and many other characteristics.
On Nov. 1, 2013, the network reported 11 fireballs (9 sporadics, 2 Orionids).
On Nov. 2, 2013, the network reported 12 fireballs (9 sporadics, 1 Orionid, 1 Northern Taurid, 1 omicron Eridanid).
On Nov. 4, 2013, the network reported 12 fireballs (8 sporadics, 3 Northern Taurids, 1 Orionid).
In these diagrams of the inner solar system, all of the fireball orbits intersect at a single point--Earth. The orbits are color-coded by velocity, from slow (red) to fast (blue). [Larger image] [movies]
