Cosmic Travelers: Sudden Impact - Meteors
Share on
Synopsis by Leslie Birdwell
Some things, like meteors, move through space a little faster than some other things, like the planet Earth. Learn about the meteors that have always proved fascinating to humans as they rocket across the galaxy and sometimes go crashing into the earth. Thank goodness for our planet's atmosphere that burns up so many of the "falling stones" before they can do real damage. The program points out that damage is possible, and on a big scale, too. Part two of a three part series.
