AI overview
A bolide is an exceptionally bright meteor that can mean different things depending on the context—it might refer to any large object that creates a crater, one that explodes in the atmosphere, or a particularly brilliant fireball. These objects matter because understanding them helps us track potentially hazardous space debris and the impacts they can have on Earth.
