Fireball 'as bright as full moon' spotted in night sky over Japan
A dazzling ''fireball'' has been seen lighting up the skies across large areas of western Japan.
The meteor was seen descending towards earth for a few seconds, before emitting a powerful light.
The fireball, believed to be a bolide -- a type of shooting star often compared to a full moon for its brightness -- could be seen clearly from parts of western and central Japan.
The National Astronomical Observatory of Japan has said several fireballs are observed every month on average, but it is rare for people to hear anything.
A mysterious fireball was sighted streaking through the night sky over western Germany over the weekend, astronomers said Sunday.
The bright streak lasted 5-to-7 seconds, ending in a jade color and breaking into two smaller blips, a witness at Siegen near Bonn told the "fireball network" run by Berlin's Technical University (TU) and the German Aerospace Center (DLR).
Within hours, some 90 sightings were notified to the network, said Professor Jürgen Oberst, head of planetary geodesy at Berlin's TU, on Sunday.
