Leoid meteorite (Leonid) moves at a speed of 251,000 km / h when plunging into the atmosphere, creating beautiful bright spots all over the planet.
According to Bill Cooke, a scientist with the US Aerospace Agency (NASA), meteor is primarily made up of sand-sized particles and dust. They will evaporate before touching the ground so it is not dangerous for people.
