Recently, a meteor was suspected to have fallen in Yushu, Qinghai, and many local netizens also photographed the falling process of this unknown object. ?

1. What happens when a meteor falls?

Meteors are asteroids or other substances from outer space. When they are close to the earth, they rub against the atmosphere to produce light, so they will drag a long tail during the fall. When the fireball falls, it will glow, and the rustling sound can be heard, accompanied by explosion. Up close, the fireball looks like a small sun. ?

The unidentified object falling in Qinghai is suspected to be a fireball. This meteor happened at 7: 25 in the morning, and when it glided in the sky, it gave off dazzling light. The moment it disappeared, it was like an explosion, and the sky that was not bright was instantly illuminated. ?

Second, what is the significance of astronomers observing meteors? ?

Every meteor that falls on the earth will receive great attention, and the latitude and longitude of the moment when the meteor falls will be detected, and the meteor wreckage found on the earth will also be taken to the research room for research. The main purpose of astronomers observing meteors is to explore the universe and further study the origin of life. The detection of these flow centers shows that the main substances are some elements of iron and nickel, which fully shows that the universe is unified.

Whether in modern times or in ancient times, meteors will come from time to time. In ancient times, if a meteor fell, the king of the dynasty would call a fortune teller to divine. Up to now, there is a scientific explanation for the falling of meteors, but there are still many people who regard meteors as a beautiful meaning. As long as they wish on a shooting star, their dreams will come true. ?
