In Sverdlovsk region the astronomer captured on video the explosion of the meteor

On the record made by a scholar Ilya Jankowski, a celestial body when falling makes a sound that is extremely rare. The video recording was made around 3 a.m. local time. Now it is available for viewing on YouTube, where the description says that the meteor passed from the Zenith to the Northern horizon.

A moment later, after the camera was in plain view of the car, it exploded, issuing the corresponding sound. All of this occurred in the Vitebsk area. As told by Yankovsky in an interview with one of the Ural media, in his opinion, the sound produced by the shock waves when a meteoroid crossed the border of the earth's atmosphere. Due to the large difference of the speed of light and the speed of sound in the video, an explosion is heard later than the external collapse of the heavenly bodies.

An explosion occurs due to the fact that a meteoroid enters into the space of the Earth's atmosphere and can not withstand the frictional force that she exerts on him. As a result, he turns into a glowing meteor and burns. The difference between a meteor and a meteorite is that a meteor burns in the air, while the meteor manages to fall on the earth's surface.

Itself astronomer Ilya Jankowski often puts on his YouTube channel such a video with rare cosmic phenomena. According to him, that he would like to help in the development of astronomy as a science.
