Artificial meteor shower?

Lena Okajima, a Japanese astronomer and businessman, revealed in an interview that she has a bold plan - to create meteor shower to bring something meaningful to everyone around . Okajima has been cooperating with scientists and other engineers at Nihon University (Tokyo, Japan) to create a satellite with a width of about 50 cm, can create and launch dozens of small bubbles. into space.

When launched outside these balls have a maximum speed of 80km / h and rush to Earth. The chemical formula of these special balls is still a mystery. However, according to leaked information, they can change color when changing some chemical formulas.

In addition, the satellite will also send information gathered from the atmosphere for research to scientists through artificial meteor shower strips. Okajima is hoping to have organizations or individuals stand out to support this special project in the near future.

Mr. Nguyen Duc Phuong, astronomer - astronomer, said: "Every year, we have the opportunity to observe with the naked eye about 8 large meteor showers. These meteor showers often repeat from year after year. "

For example, the Lyrids meteor shower of previous years appeared on April 22-23, this year will still repeat on April 22-23. The reason is that on Earth's orbit there are a number of small meteorites and dust.

They are the result of the comets' appearances . These particles are distributed according to elliptical orbits that orbit the Sun according to a certain cycle and cross the Earth's orbit.

As the Earth passes through these dust, many of Earth's small gravitational asteroids gravitate towards themselves. They rushed through the atmosphere and caught fire, people called it meteor shower.
