From December 2025.

Today's 2 topics:

- Meteors, shooting stars, or falling stars are different names
for the streaks of light in the night sky which are in reality
the dying embers of tiny asteroids. These small interplanetary
travelers were speeding along at between 7 and 44 miles per
second when they entered the Earth's atmosphere. In space, they
are called meteoroids and typically ranged in size from that of a
grain of sand to perhaps ones as big as of a piece of driveway
gravel. Large space pebbles can produce fireballs which are
brighter than the planet Venus. 

 

- At about 2AM on July 18, 2011 several people in near Tata,
Morocco saw a bright fireball which was described by one of them
to be initially yellow, then turned green, and finally exploded
into several pieces producing two sonic booms. In October of 2011
desert wandering nomads began finding very fresh looking dark
fusion-crusted stones which were radioactively dated by Dr. John
Duke of the University of Alberta to be less than 5 years old. In
total 15-24 lbs of meteorites consistent with a very recent fall
were found in a strewn field, were whisked away to receive high
prices from collectors, and named after the town of Tissint,
about 30 miles from their discovery location.
