Brilliant Fireball Lights Up The Night Sky In Four States

Skywatchers in Pittsburgh and surrounding areas were treated to quite a show on Tuesday when a brilliant fireball lit up the early-morning sky.

The fireball flared brighter than the full moon and moved almost due east at a speed of 45,000 miles per hour, NASA said. The space agency also noted that, according to the space rock’s orbit, it likely traveled to Earth from the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
