        "content": "<p>A video showing a meteor streaking across the sky over the Jakarta\nOuter Ring Road (JORR) in East Jakarta has gone viral on social media.\nThe National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) has provided an\nexplanation for the phenomenon. The footage shows a white object moving\nrapidly from south to north in the sky over the JORR toll road heading\ntowards Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII). Professor of Astronomy at\nBRIN, Thomas Djamaluddin, confirmed that the event also occurred in\nBekasi, West Java, on Saturday night. \u2018It was an event last night that\nwas also observed on the Bekasi toll road,\u2019 Thomas said when contacted\non Sunday. Thomas explained that a large meteor passed over Bekasi at\n9:22 p.m. Western Indonesia Time. The meteor was at a high altitude,\nmaking it appear relatively small and white in colour. \u2018A large meteor\npassed from the Java Sea and was detected over Bekasi around 9:22:35\np.m. WIB. This meteor was still quite high, so it looked relatively\nsmall and white,\u2019 he said. He explained that meteors originate from\nspace rocks whose orbits intersect with Earth\u2019s, burning up upon\nentering the atmosphere at an altitude of about 120 kilometres. Thomas\nstated that the meteor sighting over the JORR toll road was the same one\nseen over Bekasi. He added that such small meteors are not dangerous and\noccur quite frequently in Indonesia.<\/p>",
