Star Of The Hero, Nicholas Roerich

picked this because it's a clear cold night here and I really like this artist. It's not as complex, it's simple. There's nothing extra, but nothing is missing.

I imagine that the figure witnesses the shooting star, they're awake and present. That they have an internal clarity.

I searched "star of the hero" and found this painting, so I guess the title doesn't refer to something else. Are heroes falling stars?

Meteorite caught on doorbell camera in Canada.

"Mrs. Laura Kelly and her partner found a star-shaped pattern of gray dust on their walkway after coming home from an evening walk, in the community of Marshfield, on the east side of Charlottetown. Not knowing what it was at first, they brushed and rinsed it from the walkway. After reviewing security camera footage (see below), they realized that the material might be meteoritic, and recovered approximately 7 g of fragmented material from the grass adjacent to the walkway...."

How to catch the Geminids, one of the strongest meteor showers of the year.

@AssociatedPress reports: "The shower often produces meteors with a distinctly more yellow glow, likely due to the unusual origin material, said Sally Brummel, planetarium manager at the University of Minnesota’s Bell Museum."

The #Meteor and the #Comet

Upper streak: Comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas with a dust tail, shedding gas and dust in the inner Solar System. Lower streak: Meteor with an evaporation trail, disintegrating in #Earth's atmosphere, possibly once part of a comet or #asteroid. Image taken from Sichuan, China.

To all #astronomy lovers,

The Leonid #meteor shower peaks this weekend, best viewed after midnight until dawn. They will radiate from the constellation Leo, but can appear anywhere! The moon might outshine some of the faint ones.

The #Leonids are caused by Earth passing through debris left behind by Comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle. It orbits the Sun every ~33 years, leaving a trail of dust and particles. When the particles enter our atmosphere, they burn up and create bright streaks in the sky.

Last boost: That gives me an excuse to post this clip from Meteor, where Brian Keith is amazing as Russian scientist Dr Dubov.

this is not #AI

this is not a scene from a movie

this is simply a one in a billion video shot at the right time at the right angle by a teenager in #portugal a few days ago, may 18/ 19

Traditionell nicht zu erklären: Meteor aus Oortscher Wolke bestand aus Gestein

Ein kleiner Meteor, der vor einem Jahr über Kanada verglühte, könnte unser Bild von der Entstehung des Sonnensystems verändern – weil er nicht aus Eis bestand.
