Detail time!
Earlier this week there was an amazing meteor shower caught on tape:
Caught On Tape: Meteor Shower
I think I linked to the video right if you haven't seen it yet.
The caption:
"Streaks of light are seen across the sky from Colorado to Kansas. The Air Force says it's probably a meteor shower, and nothing harmful"
While looking for other videos of this I stumbled upon that it could have been a Russian rocket reentering the atmosphere?
Caught On Tape: Russian Rocket Causes 'Meteor Shower'
Did anyone in that area actually see this? I don't know what I'd do if I saw something like that. I would be a little freaked out thinking meteors like that were heading over the sky I was standing under. But now I read that it was a rocket reentering the atmosphere... interesting.
What does everyone think about meteors, pieces of rockets, space junk, etc. entering the atmosphere? Or pieces of metal hitting a house in NJ this week? Or just space in general?
I find space to be an amazing thing. Just to look up into the sky and see hundreds of stars baffles me thinking about the other worlds and galaxies out there. I think they (the stars, other galaxies) are there for a reason and thinking any deeper is a waste of time because the facts aren't there (from what I know...). Sure it'd be cool to know if there is life elsewhere but I like life here on Earth and as long as it keeps spinning around the sun I'd be happy
. To me I think the mystery of space is what it's all about... IMO some things are meant to be left unknown.
