Just about 10 seconds passed between the meteor&#8217;s first and final sighting.<\/p>\n<p>NASA <a href=\"https:\/\/fireballs.ndc.nasa.gov\/skyfalls\/events\/20261106-004521\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> it was able to analyze the meteor using the footage from sky cameras at the Tellus Science Museum in Cartersville, Georgia, and others stationed in Huntsville, Alabama, Tullahoma, Tennessee, and one more location near the Tennessee-North Carolina border. The agency determined that the object was a small piece of an asteroid, measuring two inches in diameter and weighing six ounces.<\/p>\n<p>Meteors, also called &#8220;shooting stars,&#8221; are the visible paths of asteroid fragments that have entered Earth&#8217;s atmosphere, <a href=\"https:\/\/cneos.jpl.nasa.gov\/fireballs\/intro.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according<\/a> to NASA. Astronomers use the term &#8220;fireball&#8221; to describe an especially bright meteor, which can be seen over a wide area because of how starkly they appear. Some fireballs are much larger than the one spotted over North Carolina and Tennessee last week, with NASA saying they can measure three feet or bigger in size.<\/p>\n<p>NASA said the meteor was not part of the Taurid meteor shower, which is currently active.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"chartbeat\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component
