Is your bin collected on a Monday?

The Team from Christchurch City Council

Some bins have tipped over in today’s strong winds, while others have ended up on the road.

If you happen to be at home, it would be great if you could check your bin is upright and the contents haven’t fallen out.

Hi neighbours,

Did you hear a "sonic boom" and see an object flying across the Canterbury sky? Many residents witnessed a suspected meteor this week.

The burning rock was at least the size of a fist – much larger than what astronomers usually see above New Zealand. Usually the objects are about the size of a grain of sand.

The arrival of a meteor can be impressive, with even something pebble-sized lighting up in the sky, Canterbury Astronomical Society president Euan Mason says.

So what did you think of the meteor? Where were you when you saw it? And do you see them often from your place? Let us know in the replies!
