A bright green meteor. (Greg Price)
New Zealand may seem to be under meteor bombardment at the moment. After a huge meteor exploded above the sea near Wellington on July 7, creating a sonic boom that could be heard across the bottom of the South Island, a smaller fireball was captured two weeks later above Canterbury.

Fireballs Aotearoa, a collaboration between astronomers and citizen scientists which aims to recover freshly fallen meteorites, has received a lot of questions about these events. One of the most frequent is about the bright green color, and whether it is the same green produced by auroras.

17. 2014 in Dallas, while waiting to snap the supermoon

I saw my first (big) meteor. Coming in over the southeast, a bright yellow light (the meteor, natch) split into two, one yellow, one green just like in your attached photo.

Took my brain a few minutes to get over the awe of what I'd just witnessed and then immediately realized I'd been dumbly holding my camera with fingers over lens.

But I saw it, and that was enough for me.
