Incredible footage of a meteor breaking up over the southern coast of Tasmania has been captured by researchers.
The bright green debris shot over the research vessel Investigator, which is operated by Australia’s national science agency the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO).
At the time, the vessel was mapping the seafloor of the Tasman Sea, conducting oceanographic studies and running trials for marine equipment.
"What we saw on reviewing the livestream footage astounded us, the size and brightness of the meteor was incredible," said CSIRO Voyage Manager John Hooper, who was on board the vessel at the time.

Wow! Wonder if anything reached terra firma . . . seemed very low angle. Maybe it was larger, higher up in the atmosphere and just passing by?
Some good footage of additional activities of Mother Nature followed too - the nuée ardente volcano, and tsunami from an under water eruption.
