meteor

If you happened to be outside late Sunday evening, you may have seen a bright light in the sky. But what was it?

Some Allegan County residents claim to have seen a huge fireball coming from the sky before crashing into Allegan Lake.

A meteor-like object green in color shot through the state of Michigan earlier today. Spotted by residents in Detroit, Lansing and even Grand Rapids

We could see over 20 meteors per hour.

Hopefully it didn't leave behind any potholes.

When it's summer in Michigan, s'mores become one of the major food groups. There's never a bad time to enjoy them. The Michigan DNR has taken summer to a delicious new level by offering free s'mores during meteor shower watch parties on Friday and Saturday at some Michigan state parks!

Thousands of meteors are reported falling through the skies, but not many are caught on video. On Monday, one lucky Michigander caught one burning through the atmosphere. Driving south on 131, Andrew Gunneson happened to be filming as he drove, and caught the fireball as it burned through the Michigan sky.

As I’ve previously mentioned, I’m a space nerd. I love anything having to do with celestial phenomena! Last week there was a total lunar eclipse which, unfortunately, we missed out on due to cloud coverage. This week the annual Lyrid meteor shower will reach its peak just before dawn on Tuesday, 4/22.
