A fireball from an asteroid has crossed several Andalusian provinces this afternoon, after entering the atmosphere at a speed of about
72,000 kilometers per hour.
The fireball has been seen by many witnesses, especially in the provinces of
Malaga, Granada and Almería,
who have echoed the sighting on social networks, reported the researcher responsible for the SMART project, astrophysicist José María Madiedo of the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia.
This preliminary analysis has made it possible to determine that the fireball began
at an altitude of about 95 kilometers over the north of the province of Granada,
and advanced in a southwest direction, flying over Granada capital and traveling about 63 kilometers in the atmosphere to end at a altitude of about 55 km south of the province.
This event has been recorded by the
SMART
project detectors
that operate in the astronomical observatories of La Hita (Toledo), Calar Alto (Almería), Sierra Nevada (Granada), La Sagra (Granada) and Seville.
