Chapter 400: Astronomical Wonders Fire Meteor
The space shuttle works diligently in space, and every time it encounters space junk, it ejects a two-dimensional net to envelop the garbage.
These encapsulated space junk are affected by the gravitational pull of the earth. Began to go down continuously.
By the time he came into contact with the atmosphere, it rubbed violently against the atmosphere due to the high velocity of space junk. Releases a lot of light and heat.
The outer layer of space junk is a large two-dimensional web, which is eroded by high temperatures. Gradually begin to melt.
When this net can't wrap around the space junk, the space junk is scattered in the atmosphere. Intense friction with the atmosphere. A flame is formed.
From time to time, they would see a flame erupt in the sky from time to time all over the world.
In Paris, France, a couple watches and counts the stars in space. Suddenly, I saw a blazing white light flash in the sky.
"Look, what a bright shooting star. Let's make a wish. ”
In London, England, in the middle of the night, astronomy enthusiast Chris is observing space with his beloved astronomical telescope.
He suddenly saw a bright light in the telescope, and Chris immediately perked up.
In this star field, this unfamiliar light is most likely a supernova explosion. If a picture of a supernova explosion is taken, it will be enough for him to brag for the rest of his life.
He was familiar with the starscape, and there were absolutely no glowing satellites passing by now. Based on his superficial knowledge, it is likely that it is a naturally occurring starlight.
He pointed his telescope at the light and saw only an oval-shaped mass falling into the atmosphere. The glow released by high-speed friction with the atmosphere.
Chris was a little disappointed, and although he couldn't see it clearly, according to his calculations, it was just a very ordinary meteor. Immediately, I felt that it was useless.
For a veteran astronomy enthusiast like him, meteors are a very common astronomical phenomenon.
In particular, extremely tiny meteorites land on Earth, which is a daily occurrence and a normal phenomenon in their eyes.
Take a small iron basin and place it in an open place such as a corner of the park or the roof of a house.
After waiting for a week or two, you can use a magnet to absorb some small black powder from the empty basin.
This is the meteorite formed by the fall of some tiny celestial bodies to Earth.
However, this is a large meteor that has been turned red by the friction of the atmosphere and emits a lot of light. Chris hasn't seen it a few times in person either. Although he was a little disappointed, he still filmed the whole process with an astronomical telescope.
He saw the meteor burn to a certain extent. Suddenly dispersed, and the flames scattered. Soon the matter burned up in the atmosphere.
Chris felt that this phenomenon was peculiar, and he immediately took pictures of it with an astronomical telescope.
Chris pulls out his phone and posts images on his social media that he just took with an astronomical telescope.
"Guys, I photographed another meteor in the sky over London. It is estimated that the mass is not large, and it has burned out.
But I found a peculiar phenomenon, it burned to a certain extent and then dispersed, forming a large firework.
This is the most special meteor I've ever seen, have my friends ever seen such a meteor? ”
"Chris, you've seen this in London, too. I also noticed this phenomenon in Vancouver. A meteor falls into the atmosphere, it quickly disperses, and finally the fire goes out. ”
"New York Plus 1."
"Athens plus 2."
"Berlin plus 3."
……
"Vienna plus 56."
Chris was immediately shocked when he saw the reply from his social account. And he carefully questioned the people who saw it. It was found that the phenomena they saw all had common characteristics.
Chris sensed that this had exceeded his expectations. This is completely beyond the knowledge of an amateur like him.
I thought it was just a small meteor in my area. I didn't expect this astronomical event to be all over the world.
Chris immediately came to the world-famous astronomical forum. Here are astronomical experts who should be able to determine the cause of this phenomenon.
Entering this forum, the most popular posts are discussing this phenomenon.
Most astronomers are night owls in order to observe the starry sky. Don't look at it late at night, but it's still hotly discussed on the Internet.
A moderator on the forum named Idol Copernicus posted a popular post.
"A Discussion on the Astronomical Wonders of Fire Meteors."
The post details that a special astronomical phenomenon has been discovered all over the world.
The meteor first concentrates in the atmosphere, where it emits a lot of light and heat after rubbing against the atmosphere.
After a while, the entire meteor suddenly disintegrated, turning into a flame-like light. Through a brainstorming discussion, we named this astronomical phenomenon a fire meteor.
They appeared on a large scale this evening, the reasons for which were not previously understood at all.
The time and address of the appearance are completely random. There is no pattern at all.
Chris looked at this post for a long time, and he said with some disdain: "I'm still an expert, and this level is about the same as mine." None of the specific causes of the fire meteors have been found. ”
There are many astronomers who continue to speculate about the cause of the fire meteors.
Yasushi Inoue said: "I think it's near the vicinity of a comet passing through the Earth. Comets are generally loose structures. Its tail is affected by the gravitational pull of the Earth, which can attract these materials to the Earth. ”
Someone immediately retorted: "This is complete nonsense, modern astronomical monitoring methods are already very advanced. No recent comets have been found to visit the vicinity of Earth. ”
Ois spoke: "Could this be the disintegration of some large star, its wreckage drifting through the universe. Finally, it floats near the Earth and is gravitationally pulled down by the Earth. ”
Someone immediately retorted: "You are completely misleading, this statement cannot explain why it started to burn so well." All of a sudden, they fell apart. ”
There are many reasons given by astronomers. But none of them can fully explain the cause of the astronomical phenomenon of fire meteors.
Chris saw a plethora of astronomers arguing. He also offered his own opinions.
"I found that the fire meteors burned at the same rate and spread out for the same amount of time. Even the glow is the same.
Something that is naturally formed, it cannot be so coincidental. I suspect he's a man-made product. Only modern industrialized products can form such a stable fire meteor phenomenon. ”
As soon as Chris's post was posted, it was immediately ushered in verbal criticism.
"The yellow-haired boy is completely in his mouth. Do you know how much it costs to launch a spacecraft now? Tens of thousands of dollars per kilogram.
Even if someone has a lot of money and burns it, he won't let the rocket send two stones in the sky to play.
Besides, the largest payload rockets now can't carry so much into space. You're completely whimsical. ”
Chris choked his breath and replied lightly: "We'll see." ”
