(中央社威靈頓31日綜合外電報導)紐西蘭北島昨晚夜空出現一顆明亮的綠色火球,「陶蘭加天文學會」(Tauranga Astronomical Society)在晚間7時45分前不久拍下這顆流星的影像並發布到網路。

紐西蘭媒體1news報導,「陶蘭加天文學會」在網路上發文指出:「我們在天文台(陶蘭加麥圖亞福格森公園,Fergusson Park, Matua, Tauranga)的一台流星攝影機拍下這個景象,學會會員葛瑞格(David Greig)也以家中流星攝影機捕捉到這個畫面。」

該學會表示,這顆火球從西向東飛越紐西蘭北島(North Island)北部上空,最終應會落在紐西蘭外海的太平洋。

葛瑞格是「陶蘭加天文學會」會長暨當地隕石追蹤及搜尋團體「奧特亞羅瓦火球」(Fireballs Aotearoa)成員。

他告訴1News,這顆流星來自火星與木星之間的小行星帶,是約46億年前太陽系形成時留下的殘餘物。

紐西蘭北島懷卡托(Waikato)及普蘭蒂灣(Bay of Plenty)部分居民也通報,他們看到這顆火球,並在臉書分享目擊情況。

一名居民說,當時自己正坐在按摩浴池內放鬆,火球「直接從我頭頂飛過,太壯觀了!真希望我有拍下來」。

Chinese researchers develop ocean terrain maps up to five times more accurate than global models

Chinese scientists have mapped the seabed of China's claimed waters, including the South China Sea, with twice the resolution and up to five times the accuracy of international methods after over two decades of effort. The work highlights the importance of precise seabed mapping for military safety, resource development, and scientific research, underscored by the 2021 USS Connecticut submarine collision with an uncharted seamount in the South China Sea.
