On Sunday 28th February 2021, a bright fireball streaked across the sky in Southern England. It was seen from as far away as France, Belgium, Ireland and Scotland.

Hear from one of the leaders of UKFAll, Dr Luke Daly, of the University of Glasgow, who has spent the last 5 years establishing a network of fireball detectors, and his colleague Aine O’Brien, who joined Luke in the field search to recover the meteorite from the Gloucestershire countryside in March 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1963,"template":"","section_category":[41],"events_category":[64],"acf":{"age_restriction":["11 and over"],"start_date":"2023-02-02 11:43:07","header_before":[{"acf_fc_layout":"header_embed","embed":"
