MISR Images Fireball Over Bering Sea (Anaglyph)

March 21, 2019
This stereo anaglyph combines two views from the MISR instrument, aboard NASA's Terra satellite, which captured a bright meteor explosion over the Bering Sea on December 18, 2018.

This stereo anaglyph combines two views from the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) instrument aboard the Terra satellite. The images were taken minutes after a fireball - the term used for exceptionally bright meteors that are visible over a wide area - exploded over the Bering Sea on Dec. 18, 2018.

The anaglyph has been rotated 93.8 degrees counterclockwise to enable 3D viewing. The 3D effect can be seen with red-blue glasses.

The MISR instrument was built and is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. JPL is a division of Caltech. The Terra spacecraft is managed by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. The MISR data were obtained from the NASA Langley Research Center Atmospheric Science Data Center in Hampton, Virginia.
