Ah, yes, because nothing screams "hobby" like lugging around a 1.5 kg #radiation meter to sniff out pebbles with a side of #ionizing #radiation. ⚛️💼 Who knew the secret to a fulfilling life was discovering just how irradiated your rock collection can get? 🔍🪨

2024DEC09 that blue colour? … ‘Ionized-air glow’?

Footage of a blue glowing orb.

“#Ionizing radiation is the cause of #blue glow surrounding sufficient quantities of strongly #radioactive materials in #air” <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionized-air_glow>

When an object penetrates the #atmosphere at the crazy speeds of orbital mechanics, the air is compressed into a shockwave in front of the object and heats up to very high temperature 🌡️.

After colliding with our object, the air in the zone of the shockwave can achieve local temperature of several thousand to several tens of thousands of degrees. This has the effect of ripping electrons from atoms, #ionizing the matter, and causing it to enter into a #plasma phase https://spaceandscience.fr/en/blog/atmospheric-entry
