I have a question.
I saw a very impressive meteorite last night. Big, fat, bright, distinctively green, and almost perfectly perpendicular to the horizon. It was so big and bright that I fully expected a flash and bang from an impact, but no such luck.
My question is; why was it green? is it the chemical make-up of the meteorite itself? is it the atmosphere, humidity, smoke, aurora? is it the geometry of its fall in relation to the viewer? Once I started to think about it, the vast majority of 'shooting-stars' I've seen have been white. But I have definitely seen yellow and orange occasionally , and now green.
Just curious.
