Those who want to catch a glimpse of the Perseid meteor shower don't need any special equipment to watch it.

A double meteor shower will grace the skies at the end of the month.

Several residents in California spotted a bright fireball streaking across the sky.

Several eyewitnesses across the U.S. spotted the moment when a meteor hit Earth and created a bright fireball in the atmosphere.

Residents of Portugal spotted a bright fiery object streaking across the sky over the country. Based on reports by eyewitnesses, it seems a small asteroid entered Earth’s atmosphere and turned into a meteor fireball over Portugal.

The Eta Aquariids are pieces of space debris from comet Halley that interact with our atmosphere.

According to Christie's, the lunar rock they are selling is larger than any of the lunar rocks brought back from the Apollo program.

A new study carried out in the Antarctic provided a new estimate regarding the amount of cosmic debris and space rocks that hit Earth every year. According to the researchers, an average of about 40 million kilograms of extraterrestrial material hit the planet annually.

A security camera captured the moment when the brightness of a meteor’s fireball event turned night into day. Based on eyewitness reports, the remarkable incident happened near the U.S. Virgin Islands.  

The meteor shower produced by the famous Halley’s Comet is expected to reach its peak soon. During this period, the Eta Aquariids will produce at least 20 to 30 meteors per hour.

Residents in Idaho and other states in the U.S. were able to witness a bright fireball event caused by a falling meteor. According to some eyewitnesses, the fiery object fragmented as it flew towards the ground.

NASA’s fireball monitoring network captured a video of meteors streaking across the sky. As noted by the agency, the meteors are part of the Lyrids shower, which is expected to peak on Wednesday (April 22).

The annual meteor shower typically produces 15 to 20 meteors an hour during the overnight shower, but has produced around 100 an hour on rare occasions.

The Lyrid meteor shower, which is caused by the cosmic debris of a passing comet, will reach its peak starting on April 21. The shower is expected to produce about 15 to 18 meteors per hour.

The strongest annual meteor shower caused by the debris of a passing comet is about to take place next month. During the peak, there’s a chance the shower could produce about 100 meteors per hour.

The American Meteor Society (AMS) confirmed that Earth was hit by an asteroid last week.

A bright fireball was spotted streaking across the night sky over Lake Huron. According to astronomers, the bright object was most likely caused by a cluster of meteorites that burned up in Earth’s atmosphere.

Ready to begin the 2020s? The first major meteor shower of the 2020s is considered one of the best annual meteor showers.

Scientists confirmed that Earth was hit by a meteoroid that turned into a grazing fireball. But instead of disintegrating in Earth’s atmosphere, the cosmic debris bounced off and returned to interplanetary space.

Researchers believe that the fireball event that previously occurred in Australia was caused by a meteor classified as a minimoon. The researchers consider the incident as a rare event because the last time a minimoon appeared near Earth was in 2006.

It seems December will turn out to be the best month for stargazers this year due to the number of cosmic events that are set to happen within the next couple of days and weeks.
