Fire ball of mid night sky
"Noise proves Nothing often a hen who has merely laid an egg cackle as if she had laid an asteroid"
We all spend our young night gazing at this dark horizone waiting for that one sight of shooting star . Ever heard the myth that if u wish anything while watching shooting star. Star will get u that wish . Let's discuss on this celestial structure , let's questioned about fireball of mid night sky. So when our solar system was in womb developing it's organ about 4.6 billion years ago from a dense cloud and some interstellar gases . Some get left over in the space this Collab together to form asteroid . Asteroid are small rocky object that orbits around the sun . Our solar system is full of this object many of this objects lie between Jupiter and Mars known as Asteroid Belt .During formation of solar system some of the condensing dust in the cloud become planets . The objects in the asteroid belt never had the chance to be ineorported into planets . Did u know that total mass combined of all asteroid in the Asteroid Belt is less that that of Earth's Moon . In our target there are some asteroid like 101955 Bennu . 253 Mathilda, 4 Vesta , 433 eros , asteroid psyche , Didymos . Really this name are much fancy than humans name !! . Let's talk about Meteors are nothing but pieces of dust and debris from space that burn up in the earth's atmosphere , where they create a bright streak across the dark night sky . When earth passes through the dusty tail of comet or asteroid belt . The many streak of light in the sky are known as Meteor shower . Particularly large chunks of material can create an extra bright fireball streak but most Meteors are still small enough to entirely burn up in the atmosphere . If somehow this rock struggle and make it through the earth then it is known as meteorite . Before they hit the surface they are called meteroid . What if this Asteroid hit back to earth just like Dargons see . NASA launches the DART mission to protect the earth from catastrophic collision basically it work on Kinetic impactor technique it slightly changes the orbit of asteroids orbital path . It will hit the Dimorphos with speed of 6.6 km per second . NASA tries to capture this fireball of dark Cosmos through ASGARD project in this network consist of 17 cameras which keep eye on this dark horizon during night and capture some shooting star for us . They have overlapping field of view .
