I thought this was awesome - but bright green! Some kind of camera filter? I've never seen any green illumination in videos on the web.
So you never took chemistry in high school? The fact that different elements give off different colors when heated or burned.I thought this was awesome - but bright green! Some kind of camera filter? I've never seen any green illumination in videos on the web.
Yes, and in university and in my early jobs in material science. Still, the question remains. In any case, metal asteroids are almost entirely iron, with small amounts of rare earth elements. I highly doubt there are any salts that would account for that depth of color.So you never took chemistry in high school?

The Comet and the FireballI thought it might be from out being very far away with the refraction of light through the air.
And the meteor's flash was even more green than the comet's coma. The cause of the meteor's green was likely magnesium evaporating from the meteor's pebble-sized core...
