ScienceCasts: Fireballs

Visit http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/... for the full story.

For reasons researchers do not understand, the rate of midnight fireballs increases during the weeks around the vernal equinox. It's a beautiful display, but where do they come from? NASA's growing network of fireball cameras is scanning the heavens for answers.

could it be more fireball in spring summer just because more peoples enjoy the weather and look up more in a warm day? and winter no one cares what the sky look like?lol

Does that mean that there are more "spring fireballs" in the southern hemispheres autumn/winter?

and so we see there is nothing to stupid losers and trolls like "frogsperm". full of arrogance, anger and need for approval, she has no way to respond to facts. she is a nasty, stalking troll with no other way to interact but to malign. no profile, no life. Pathetic.

Spring? I would expect an astronomer to know that spring occurs twice a year, once for the northern hemisphere and at a different time for the southern hemisphere. I assume this is during the northern hemisphere spring.

...sorry missed your question :

~think earth coordinates difference from our position in relationship to the heliosphereic travel through the galaxy (leading edge of the sun or following edge and crunch this into your orbital vectors, this may help shed some light on what you haven't accounted for yet.

Hope that helps, just ask if you need clarification on what eye hint at, the collaboration is always on when it comes to learning such great survival truths my comrades in space truth and life !
