Astro Hawk (Ian Kluft) ✅🚀🛰️<p>"Bright fireball explodes over Nuevo León, Mexico" by TheWatchers (<a href="https://spacey.space/tags/FPNF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FPNF</span></a> Fediverse presence not found - if you know them, invite them) - A bolide lit up the sky around 2am June 15 in northeastern Mexico. A sonic boom was reported, which indicates it was a somewhat larger asteroid than the small ones that hit Earth's atmosphere nearly every day. These are rare in any given location but weekly to monthly somewhere in the world. <a href="https://watchers.news/2025/06/15/bright-fireball-explodes-nuevo-leon-mexico-june-15-2025/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">watchers.news/2025/06/15/brigh</span><span class="invisible">t-fireball-explodes-nuevo-leon-mexico-june-15-2025/</span></a> <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>astronomy</span></a> <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/asteroid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>asteroid</span></a> <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/LowFlyingRocks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LowFlyingRocks</span></a></p>
