It was probably the longest and most powerful shooting star I have witnessed in my life. I was so vowed, I even forgot to make a wish.<\/em><\/p>\n

See it from second 11.<\/p>\n

Because of the excellent Northern Lights forecast, unusually many locals and travellers alike have been out last night to possibly witness powerful auroral displays.<\/p>\n

Clear skies above the northernmost capital encouraged many curious people to gather along the shore, waiting for the solar storm to arrive.<\/p>\n

“We have just set up our cameras to capture new materials for our Northern Lights exhibition”, said Gr\u00e9tar J\u00f3nsson, CEO of Aurora Reykjav\u00edk, The Northern Lights Center<\/a>. “The first green arches of auroras were already clearly visible above the horizon. Then suddenly the powerful flash occurred, straight down next to Yoko Ono’s Imagine Peace Tower<\/a>, which just got relit last Saturday. People around us were screaming, totally vowed by the long stroke of the fireball.”<\/p>\n

As mbl <\/a>reports, the meteor entered our atmosphere around 9,45 pm local time on October 11th, lasting for more than five seconds.<\/p>\n

A meteor is a space rock that burns brightly after entering Earth’s atmosphere at high speed. It becomes known as a meteorite if it survives its passage to the ground.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
