New Zealand may appear to be under a meteor strike right now. After a large meteor exploded over the ocean near Wellington on July 7, creating a sonic boom that could be heard at the bottom of the South Island, a smaller fireball was captured two weeks later over Canterbury. Fireballs Aotearoa, a collaboration between astronomers and citizen scientists aiming to recover a recently fallen meteorite, has received a lot of questions about this event. One of the most frequent is about the color bright green, and is it the same green that the aurora produces. Aurora australis observed from the international space station. Wikimedia Commons CC BY-ND Green fireballs have been reported and filmed in New Zealand regularly. Bright meteors often signal the arrival of an asteroid boulder, which can be between a few centimeters and a meter in diameter when it hits the atmosphere. Some of these asteroids contain nickel and iron and hit the atmosphere at spe

GHOST Gemini captures the first beautiful light observations of a bright, chemical-rich star

Gemini South, one of the most productive and powerful infrared-optical telescopes in the world, received a major capability upgrade with the successful installation of a new high-resolution spectrograph called GHOST built by an international consortium. This cutting-edge scientific instrument will expand our understanding of the earliest stars, the chemical fingerprints of distant planetary systems, and the formation and evolution of galaxies. Gemini South in Chile is half of the Gemini International Observatory, operated by NOIRLab NSF. The latest scientific instrument from the Gemini South telescope — GHOST, Gemini High-resolution Optical SpecTrograph — achieved its first light by making excellent observations of HD 222925, a very bright and chemically complex star located more than 1,400 light-years to the south. hemisphere of the constellation Tucana. This star is a prime example of the type of object GHOST will investigate. Gemini South is half of the Gemini International Obs
