Sound of meteorite striking Earth caught on doorbell camera
Experts from the University of Alberta believe this is the first time audio of a meteorite fall is recorded.

That is awesome news! Congratulations, taf!@Simone411, I watch Kelly Clarkson every day so I'll get to see her. I record it in case I miss it.
My good news is that I graduated from the radiation center today. Most cancer centers have their patients ring the bell but I got to sound the gong. I have to go back in 2 weeks for a consultation but otherwise I'm through with that place!
Too much! In the near future we'll have flying cars like the ones in the cartoon, The Jetsons. The funny thing mentioned is that it might be hard to fit 2 people and that there was room for 1 1/2 people. I'm always a bit confused by that. Does it mean one person plus a baby or one person plus a small child?!Flying cars are real.

Watch: A real-life flying car takes to the skies
From science-fiction to the real world, flying cars are here - but could the concept actually take off?www.bbc.com
Earth’s beautiful northern and southern lights are the result of auroras: when high-energy charged particles from the sun hit gases in our upper atmosphere, making them glow in brilliant colors as they release energy from the collision. Auroras occur where Earth’s magnetic field crosses our planet’s atmosphere near the north and south poles.
While scientists have previously observed auroras on Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has finally spotted them on Neptune for the first time. The announcement is detailed in a study published Wednesday in the journal Nature Astronomy.
If JWST “was powerful enough to see the earliest galaxies in the universe, it’d better be powerful enough to see things like aurorae on Neptune,” study co-author Heidi Hammel, an astronomer at the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, tells the New York Times’ Robin George Andrews. “And by golly, it was.”
Astronomers have been searching for auroral activity on Neptune, the most distant planet from the sun, since NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft flew by it in 1989 and picked up “tantalizing hints” of the phenomenon, per a NASA statement.
“Neptune has always been elusive,” James O’Donoghue, a planetary scientist at the University of Reading in England and a co-author of the new study, tells the Associated Press’ Christina Larson. “We’ve been trying to see it again ever since [Voyager].”
