An object that has entered Earth’s atmosphere
at great speed and is glowing hot due to the
friction with the air. Many of these objects
“burn up” before reaching the ground.

These objects have such large orbits around the
Sun that they only come around every so
many years. When they are visible in the sky
many flock to areas where a dark night sky is
available(away from city lights).

Many of these objects have been thought to
have been discovered orbiting distant stars.
Evidence for their existence at these distant
stars is the fact that the stars exhibit a wobble
due to the object’s gravity.

that cover the polar regions as the only way
for rocky objects to get there(on the surface)
is for them to fall from the sky.
