Winter coats are removed inside Tatura’s new multi-million dollar greenhouse. The temperature is 28 degrees Celsius and smells of 150,000 stems of tomato plants. Key points: Greenhouse tomato grower expands operations in Tatura A 6-hectare greenhouse will create 60 new jobs The company has been financially supported by the Victorian government The new six-hectare greenhouse will produce 4,000 tonnes of tomatoes per year and create 60 new jobs for the site. Flavorite chief executive Mike Nichol said, due to high demand for the product, the company will expand in four Victoria locations. “We have one here in Tatura, one in Katunga, Mansfield and our base in Warragul,” he said. “Warragul is the biggest at the moment, but in Katunga we have room for another 30 hectares. “We have space to house three other greenhouses in Tatura as well as a very large packing warehouse, which allows us to ship products directly from here.” The company grows tomatoes, cucumbers and capsicum all year round.

Meteorites hit New Zealand three or four times a year, but the fireballs that shot through the skies over the Cook Strait last week were unusual. 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. Witnesses described a “giant bright orange fireball” and flashes that left “a trail of smoke that hung for several minutes”. The fireball was most likely caused by a small meteor, several meters in diameter, that crossed Earth’s atmosphere. 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 lightning-tracking satellites.
