A bolide (French via Latin from the Greek bolís, "missile") is an extremely bright meteor, especially one that explodes in the atmosphere. In astronomy, it refers to a fireball about as bright as the full moon, and it is generally considered a synonym for a fireball. In geology, a bolide is a very large impactor. * One definition describes a bolide as a fireball reaching an apparent magnitude of 14 or brighter more than twice as bright as the full moon. Another definition describes a bolide as any generic large crater-forming impacting body whose composition (for example, whether it is a rocky or metallic asteroid, or an icy comet) is unknown.A superbolide is a bolide that reaches an apparent magnitude of 17 or brighter. * Recent examples of superbolides include the Sutter's Mill meteorite and the Chelyabinsk meteor. |
