It had an explosive power of 1,800 tons of TNT and was captured from space by US satellites. This triggered a sonic boom that was heard throughout the southern part of the North Island.

That is one of only five impacts greater than a thousand tonnes of energy globally in the past year. Most meteors are small, creating “shooting stars” that only briefly penetrate the atmosphere. The meteor’s fragmentation generated a shockwave strong enough to be picked up by GeoNet, a network of earthquake seismometers, with flashes bright enough to be recorded by global li...
