WHAT CAUSES A FALLING STAR?
Come on, make a wish! Because you just saw a falling star. Let's see if this star can make your wish come true or grant the wish of a creature that lives on another planet on another side of the universe?
We all more or less know the man in the photo. His name is Stephen William Hawking. He was an English cosmologist, physicist, astronomer, theorist, and author. “Life is the strangest phenomenon known!” according to Stephen Hawking, it all started with an explosion called “the Big Bang.”
A long time ago, a mysterious star exploded and a lot of different substances were scattered around. This cloud of dust where these substances came together and gave birth to new stars was called Nebula. Here are some examples of the perfect beauty of nebulas...
The celestial bodies we call stars are born inside the nebula. The light emitted or reflected by the star creates a riot of color. When the stars complete their mission in the universe and die, they form a new nebula. This can go on forever! Because the number of stars in the sky is far more than all the grains of sand on Earth!
But the stars that we lie under and dream about or connect the dots with our fingers, and even the stars that define our horoscopes are quite different from those born in the Nebula. No way, you think they're stars? No, they're fragments of our sun, millions of light-years away from Earth. And it is described as asteroids that swing like a drunken human being amongst the gravitational forces of planets.
It is estimated that 200 thousand meteorites fall into our atmosphere every year. Their total weight is about 15 thousand tons! So, it's the same weight as 3,000 elephants, each weighing 5,000 kilograms!
The largest meteorite reaching the Earth without falling apart fell to Nambia in 1920, weighing not 10, not 20 or 40, but 66 tons! Well, by this calculation, the weight of our world seems to have increased considerably!
Meteors often enter the boundaries of our world like visitors. If they merge with the atmosphere and burn, they are called "meteors", but if they survive and reach the Earth, they are called "meteorites".
Now start rubbing your hands together very quickly. Like we do to warm ourselves in cold, snowy weather... your hands are hotter now, aren't they?
Meteors, just like your hands, heat up due to friction at the speed of entry into the atmosphere. That's why they burn. As a burning meteor continues to fall, it leaves a thin mark. And before it goes out, it shines for the last time.
So, what we're watching as a falling star is a meteor that burns and goes out after entering the atmosphere.
Have you ever thought why we make a wish at the end of a meteor's adventure?
In the culture of people living in ancient times, it was common to believe that the desire of the person who made a wish before death would come true. You know how they say, “what is your last wish before you die?”. Now, that's why you made a wish because you saw a falling star. Your wish will come true because now you know that you have seen the last moment of that star.
Then, keep in mind, of course, everything has a lifetime, the stars, maybe even our universe. What matters is how we live that “life”.
