Meteors

A meteorite believed to have come from beyond the solar system crashed into the ocean in 2014 off the coast of Papua New Guinea. Scientists have now launched an expedition to the depths of the ocean to search for the space rock.

A mysterious object from space crashed into the ocean off the coast of Papua New Guinea in 2014. Called the CNEOS 2014-01-08, the meteorite has still kept scientists puzzled about its origin but initially, it was speculated that it could be an interstellar object. Now, researchers are chalking up plans to scan the ocean floor for the object.

The next full moon and the last supermoon of this year will appear on Thursday, August 11, reaching its peak at 9:36pm EDT, as per Space.com. Accordingly, in India, it will be visible on Friday, August 12. 

The Perseid meteor showers are set to occur on August 12 and August 13 this year, according to NASA. However, the brightness of the full Moon may affect visibility of the Perseids this year, the space agency says. Here's everything you need to know about the celestial phenomenon ahead of their appearance this month.

Many people took to social media on Saturday to share videos of meteor showers. The videos show stunning hues of red, blue and yellow blazing across the night sky while onlookers took out cameras to capture the moment.

A spectacular fireball on Friday was spotted zooming over several US states, including Indiana and Wisconsin. The American Meteor Society (AMS) shared a video of the sighting and said that it received around 150 reports of the fireball.

The Perseid meteor shower, often considered as the best meteor shower of the year, is underway and will provide the best viewing opportunities for stargazers in America next month, according to the American Meteor Society.

The new Bullet 350 will share its mechanicals with the new Meteor and Classic 350 including the new J-Series engine.

A meteor which lit up the night sky in the Chilean capital Santiago has been caught on camera. The inhabitants of the city heard the sound of the meteor crossing the atmosphere as if it were a burst of thunder.

A burning meteor-like fireball flashed across the sky over Wellington, New Zealand, on Thursday afternoon.

Researchers have found unique carbon crystals having unusual shapes in the grains of preserved meteorite dust. The dust was the result of a space rock explosion that took place over Chelyabinsk, Russia in 2013.

The RE Shotgun 650 will be a new roadster based on the 650 Twins platform and will be one of two new 650 cc models being planned by Royal Enfield.

The planetary formation theory that scientists have been referring to for decades seems to have been jeopardised by a recent study regarding an old meteorite. The theory explained how rocky planets like Earth and Mars acquire volatile material.

The new Royal Enfield Hunter 350 is likely to be launched in the first week of August. The Hunter 350 will be based on the new Royal Enfield Classic 350, but is expected to be more affordable.

Royal Enfield is set to launch the Hunter 350 in the coming months, and photos of its most affordable motorcycle have been leaked online ahead of launch.
