Bright Fireball Events Detected by US Government Sensors (NASA JPL)

jplssd/fireballs

Fireballs (bolides) detected by U.S. government sensors, newest first: for each the date and time (UTC), the total radiated energy in 10^10 joules, the calculated total impact energy in kilotons of TNT, latitude and longitude in signed degrees (south and west negative), altitude in km and velocity in km/s. Position, altitude and velocity are null when the sensors did not report them. Give the earliest date (YYYY-MM-DD, from 1988); optionally a latest date, a minimum impact energy in kt and a limit of 1 to 100 (default 20). Not every fireball is detected or published. NASA/JPL Solar System Dynamics data, served by Eden Engine; not an official NASA or JPL product.

Use it

Five steps: search, inspect, learn, run, settle. No per-tool setup; your agent reaches this tool through the meta-tools it already has.

Connect once and your AI can find and run this tool, and any other it needs.

// 1. search: find the tool
omnial_search({ query: "what you need" })

// 2. inspect: price and input schema
omnial_inspect({ tool: "jplssd/fireballs" })

// 3. learn: read the usage guide at runtime
omnial_learn({ tool: "jplssd/fireballs" })

// 4. run: price the exact call first, then run it
omnial_execute({ tool: "jplssd/fireballs", input: { /* see input_schema */ }, dry_run: true })
omnial_execute({ tool: "jplssd/fireballs", input: { /* ... */ } })

// 5. settle: the call is charged when it finishes, nothing to do
