HELENA — The rockets’ red glare wasn’t the only spectacle lighting up the Montana sky over the holiday weekend. On July 3, the Montana Learning Center (MLC) captured their brightest fireball to date.
The atmospheric phenomenon was captured around 4:14 a.m. in the skies above Canyon Ferry. It was bright enough that a person could have been able to see their own shadow on the ground as if it were during the day.
The fireball phenomenon is when a meteor, otherwise known as a shooting or falling star, is larger than around a millimeter in diameter. The larger the size of the meteor, the bigger the flash in the sky.
