Comets and shooting stars | Nauka i Zhizn

Many of our readers have probably admired “shooting stars” on warm summer nights, or, as they are called in science, meteors. Here and there they flash one after another, of different colors, shades and brightness, and, flying, often leave behind a faintly luminous trail for several seconds (Fig. 1). Some of them, the brightest, scatter sparks during the flight, like a Roman candle. This heavenly firework is especially beautiful in the dark southern sky on a moonless night. Every year on certain nights, as we will talk about later, there are especially many meteors. Occasionally, approximately once every 20-25 years, a real meteor shower occurs (Fig. 2). Such, for example, “rain” was observed 9October 1933 Meteors flew in all directions across the sky in a continuous stream. People gathered in crowds and watched with amazement the amazing starry rain. In Leningrad, where the author of the article observed this rain, over 250 meteors per minute could be counted. The meteor shower was especially strong in Western Europe. So, for example, according to observations in Spain, there were over 1,000 meteors per minute. In some places, the phenomenon caused panic among the people, they talked about the onset of the “death of the world.” The natives in Sudan (Africa) beat drums during a meteor shower, expecting some terrible events.

Such abundant meteor showers were observed more than once in the last century, for example, in 1833, 1866, 1872 and 1885.

But what are shooting stars, or meteors?

Some confuse shooting stars with those fixed stars that shine in the sky from night to night. They believe that this or that star suddenly, having broken from its place, flies across the sky. This, of course, is not true. The fixed stars are the same celestial giants as our Sun. But they are so far from the Earth that they seem to us only faint luminous points. Shooting stars are tiny grains, a few millimeters in diameter and a fraction of a gram in weight. Flying at a tremendous speed, up to 50 or more kilometers per second, into the Earth’s atmosphere, they hit air particles and experience strong resistance. As a result, already at an altitude of about 120-150 km, they heat up to a temperature of several thousand degrees and turn into an incandescent gas, which quickly dissipates in the air. They seem to burn up in the air at an altitude of 50-80 km from the Earth.

The reader may have a question – is it possible to see such tiny particles flying from us at a distance of a hundred kilometers, even if they are heated to such a high temperature? But here it is necessary to take into account that not only the particle itself heats up and glows, but together with it, under the influence of its high temperature, the hot air surrounding the particle, entrained by it in its rapid flight, also glows.

The products of the “combustion” of the solid particles of the meteor gradually settle to the Earth in the form of the so-called meteoric or cosmic dust. This dust can be detected in negligible amounts in precise analyzes of snow taken from the tops of mountains, far from industrial centers, dusting the atmosphere with ordinary terrestrial dust.

Shooting stars can be seen on every clear night, one has only to look for some time at any part of the sky. But, as we have already noted, on some nights there are especially many shooting stars. Most of them are observed in August and especially on August 11-12. Then you can count up to 100 meteors per hour. They fly past the constellations Perseus, Andromeda, Cassiopeia, Auriga and others, located in August in the evenings in the northeastern part of the sky.

If you carefully follow the shooting stars for 1-2 hours, then it is easy to replace that most of them fly out, as it were, from one section of the sky and fan-shaped scatter in different directions. If the paths of meteors visible in the sky are plotted on a star map and then continued in the direction of the appearance of meteors, then they will all intersect almost at one point, called the radiant (Fig. 3). Shooting stars in August have a radiant in the constellation Perseus, from which they are called Perseids.

The radiant phenomenon can be explained as follows. Shooting stars in interplanetary space move in a stream parallel to each other. But when they enter the Earth’s atmosphere, as they approach the surface of the Earth and, consequently, to the observer, their apparent paths in the sky seem to diverge in different directions. But this is purely a prospective phenomenon. We can observe it, standing on the railroad track and looking into the distance. It seems to us that the rails, which lie parallel to each other, diverge in different directions as they approach us. The trees of the alley seem to diverge in the same way.

In interplanetary space, there are whole streams of small particles – meteors, which, like the Earth and all other planets, move around the Sun in certain orbits. And so, when the Earth, during its movement, crosses the orbit of a stream, it meets its particles. The latter, flying into the Earth’s atmosphere, cause the appearance of shooting stars (Fig. 4). Every year on August 11 – 12, the Earth passes through the thick of the Perseid meteor shower, and at this time the largest number of shooting stars is observed.

In addition to the Perseids, there are also other fairly abundant meteor showers, for example: Quadrantids, observed in early January in the constellation Draco, Lyrids – in mid-April in the constellation Lyra, Aquarids – at the end of July in the constellation of Aquarius, Orionids – in the twentieth of October in the constellation Orion , Leonids – in the first half of November in the constellation Leo, Andromedis – at the end of November in the constellation Andromeda, Geminids – in the first half of December in the constellation Gemini, etc. The Earth daily crosses the orbits of any streams, but usually very weak ones, so during the night you can see only a dozen or two meteors.

Now let’s say where and how meteor showers arise.

Our modern knowledge in this area of astronomy allows us to consider them the remnants of decayed comets, these amazing tailed stars.

Comets are unusual celestial bodies. Every bright comet has a bright nucleus surrounded by a hazy shell – this is the so-called comet head. Sometimes a very long, light tail extends from the head.

It must be said that many people mistakenly take for comets fireballs that suddenly appear and rush across the sky at great speed, called fireballs, after which a thunderclap, roar and rumble are often heard. Fireballs, like meteors, appear as a result of a cosmic body entering the earth’s atmosphere, but not such a tiny particle as when a meteor appeared, but a larger piece – a stone weighing several kilograms, and sometimes much more. Not having time to “burn out” in the earth’s atmosphere while moving in it at cosmic speed, such a stone falls to the Earth; it’s called a meteorite.

Unlike fireballs, comets are not as bright and do not cause illumination of the area, which is usually the case when flying fireballs. Then fireballs are usually observed for a few seconds, while comets are visible for several days and even months. Comets move far beyond the Earth’s atmosphere, being at a distance of tens and hundreds of millions of kilometers from the Earth. On the contrary, fireballs appear precisely within the earth’s atmosphere, flying in it at a distance of several tens of kilometers from the Earth’s surface.

If we follow from day to day for some time the location of any comet among the stars, then it is easy to detect its movement across the sky among the fixed stars.

Probably many of our readers have seen drawings or photographs of comets. It is certain, however, that only a very few of them have themselves seen a bright comet in the sky, since such comets appear quite rarely, about once every ten years. The last bright comet, named after the astronomer who discovered it, Comet Skjellerupp, was observed at 1927 AD The comet was discovered at the end of November, when it was still far from the Earth and had an insignificant brightness, remaining invisible to the naked eye. However, by December 15, its brightness increased so much that the comet was observed even during the day, in full sunlight, being almost next to the Sun, at a distance of only 1 ° from it, i.e., two diameters of the solar disk. On December 18, the comet was seen by one of our Russian amateur astronomers against the background of the evening dawn. He watched her until the sunset over the horizon. Another bright comet in this century was observed at 1910 AD This is Halley’s famous comet. Both comets had huge tails stretching across the sky.

As already mentioned, bright comets appear very rarely. On the other hand, faint comets, visible only through a telescope, are observed annually; in some years even a few comets are visible. Faint comets have the appearance of rounded hazy spots with a brighter nucleus in the center of the spot. It is rare for a faint comet to have a visible tail.

Many comets, like the planets of the solar system, move around the Sun in closed orbits, that is, they are periodic. Such comets make a complete revolution around the Sun for certain periods of time. Comets have different rotation periods. So, for example, Halley’s comet bypasses its path around the Sun for 75 – 76 years. Comet Encke has the shortest period – only 3.5 years. Unlike the orbits of the planets, the orbits of comets are very elongated, but they also have the shape of an ellipse, in one of the focuses of which is the Sun. When a comet passes in a part of its orbit remote from the Sun, in the so-called aphelion, it is very weak and invisible even in the most powerful telescope. But as it approaches the Sun, the brightness of the comet, under the influence of solar heating, rapidly increases due to the formation of gases in it. Along with this, the comet has a tail, continuously increasing both in size and in brightness. The comet reaches its greatest brightness when passing through the point of its orbit closest to the Sun, called perihelion. After that, the brightness of the comet weakens again.

As numerous studies have shown, comets are luminaries that are completely different from planets. The head of a comet is a very rarefied cluster of tiny particles – dust particles and gas. The nucleus of a comet consists of larger parts – stones and boulders, and the tail – of a more rarefied gas. How low the density of the comet is can be judged by the fact that the fixed stars shine through the comet almost without dimming. Calculations showed that for one cubic kilometer; space accounts for only one cubic centimeter of comet matter. Meanwhile, the tails of comets are enormous, and in the brightest comets they extend for several hundred million kilometers.

Remarkable is the circumstance that the tails of comets are directed in the direction opposite to the Sun. For this reason, after passing through perihelion, each comet moves with its tail forward. Such a strange phenomenon is explained by the fact that a repulsive force acts on an insignificant mass of comet tails – the light pressure of the Sun.

On May 18, 1910, the above-mentioned bright comet Halley, in its movement around the Sun, touched the Earth with its tail, but no special phenomena were observed. Even the smallest traces of cometary gases were not noticed in the earth’s atmosphere. Possible collisions of the Earth with comets do not pose any danger.

By their nature, comets are short-lived formations. Making their way around the Sun, they continuously scatter individual solid particles and gas along the orbit. In the end, each comet completely disintegrates, all its matter dissipates. The comet ceases to exist, and instead a meteor shower appears, extending in a ring around the Sun and, in its position relative to the Sun, coincides with the comet’s previously existing orbit.

It must be said that the matter of the comet is initially unevenly scattered along the orbit and for a long period of time a bunch of particles moves in the stream.

If the meteor shower intersects with the Earth’s orbit, then, as already mentioned, when the Earth passes through this intersection point, it will meet particles of the stream, which will cause the appearance of meteors. If, however, it happens that at the moment the Earth passes through the stream, it gets into a bunch of a meteor ring, then a meteor shower will occur, the same as that observed on October 9, 1933.

Convincing evidence for the theory of comet decay can be the decomposition of the famous comet Biela that occurred before the eyes of astronomers. This comet broke up in 1866 into two parts, turning into a double comet. Then, on its subsequent return to the Sun, on November 27, 1872, when the Earth crossed the path of the comet and the comet was supposed to appear in the sky, it turned out that there was no comet, and instead a plentiful meteor shower was observed. According to some astronomers, the number of meteors reached 100 per minute. Since then, the comet has ceased to exist, and instead of it, the Andromeda meteor shower, which we talked about at the beginning of the article, is observed annually.

The above-mentioned meteor shower on October 9, 1933, as it was later established, is associated with the rather faint comet Giacobini. At the moment when this rain was observed, the Earth crossed the path of this comet. The comet, however, still exists, and therefore the flux associated with this comet is still very weak. The meteor shower was caused by the encounter of the Earth only with a clot that had separated from the comet (Fig. 5).

At present, a connection with comets has been established only for a very small number, no more than a dozen, meteor showers. Meanwhile, meteor showers, though very weak, are observed almost every night. Probably these streams are associated with comets that broke up a very long time ago. On the other hand, it should be noted that not all comets are periodic. On the contrary, most comets enter the solar system from interstellar space. Having circled the Sun and passed through perihelion, they can irretrievably go into the depths of the universe;,

It should also be said that every clear night one can observe individual, so-called sporadic, shooting stars, not associated with any streams and comets. These are separate particles that fill the world space, like dust floating in the air.

In conclusion, we note that amateur astronomers can be of great help in the study of shooting stars. Observations of shooting stars are quite simple and do not require special training. It is only necessary to know the starry sky well (bright stars and constellation configurations), have a watch and a suitable star desk, and also have free time at least 3-4 times a month for 3-4 hours. The observer plots the paths of the meteors he has noticed on a star map, while being guided by the location of the fixed stars. The observation log records the time of the appearance of meteors and their physical features: brightness, color, flight duration, etc. Detailed instructions on observing shooting stars can be obtained from the All-Union Astronomical and Geodetic Society (Moscow, 9, mailbox 1268).

What are the so-called shooting stars What is their connection with the stars

contents

What are the shooting stars and what is their relation to the stars?

The so-called shooting stars are actually meteors, that is, celestial bodies that fall into the Earth’s atmosphere and burn up due to friction with air. Shooting stars light up as they enter our atmosphere and leave a trail of light in the sky.

What are the so-called stars?

star summary

These are spherical celestial bodies composed of gases such as hydrogen and helium. Inside is the core where the fusion reactions take place, responsible for the energy and light emitted by these objects.

What are brain shooting stars?

A shooting star is a part of a meteor or some other cosmic particle that, upon entering the Earth’s atmosphere, leaves a luminous trail. This trace is visible due to the combustion of its material during friction with air.

A shooting star is a part of a meteorite or other cosmic particle that, upon entering the Earth’s atmosphere, leaves a luminous trail wherever it passes due to the burning of its substance.

Is it true that shooting stars grant wishes?

Shooting stars can grant wishes. During this period, the trails of Halley’s comet, 28 years after its passage at a distance of 56 million kilometers from our planet, fall back to Earth, creating a meteor shower, more poetically known as shooting stars. 🇧🇷

Is it rare to see a shooting star?

Shooting stars are by no means a rare phenomenon, they are simply rarely observed due to the short duration of their luminous trail. Every day, millions and millions of kilograms of stones of various sizes fall on our planet, leaving more or less visible light trails, depending on their mass.

Where do shooting stars form?

Shooting stars form in the upper layers of the Earth’s atmosphere. Therefore, we get the impression that stars are falling from the sky. Thus, they are formed due to the movements of the translational movement and rotation of the Earth. That is, each such object enters our atmosphere at a speed close to 250,000 km/h.

How important is a star?

One can definitely say about the importance of stars that we are talking about heat, light and energy that they generate, and life can only exist on a planet close to a star. The sun is an example of a star, and without it there would be no life on our planet. …

What is the name of the largest star in the universe?

1st – VY Canis Major: Also known as VY Cma, this hypergiant has a reddish glow and is 2,100 times the diameter of the Sun. To have an idea of its size, almost three billion planets equal to the Earth would fit inside it.

Why don’t stars fall from the sky?

This is the force of gravity that keeps the stars from falling, as if they are attracted to each other. From a cosmological point of view, gravity pulls matter together and stays together. That is why planets, stars and galaxies exist.

What does the Bible say about a shooting star?

Jesus in the Book of Revelation (22:16) calls himself “the bright and morning star. ” The term is used separately in Revelation 2:26, 28 and Isaiah 14:12, in Figueiredo’s translation: “How did you fall from heaven, O Lucifer, you who appeared to be such a bright day?”

What is the name of a set of stars?

The collection of stars and celestial objects is called a constellation, among the main ones we have the constellation of the Southern Cross. A constellation is made up of a collection of stars and other celestial objects in a specific region of the sky.

What is shooting star day?

Dawn from August 12 to 13 will be the best time to watch the 2022 Perseid meteor shower. According to NASA, this phenomenon is considered the best meteor shower of the year due to the number and long trails. the light left by rocks as they pass through the earth’s atmosphere.

What does the word fall mean?

1. Downfall (eg falling water). 2. Which represents or appears to be on a downward trajectory.

How do you spell shooting star?

Meaning of a shooting star

feminine noun A luminous phenomenon caused by the movement of asteroid fragments or comet remnants that quickly enter the atmosphere and leave a trail of light as they rub against atmospheric air. Etymology (origin of the word shooting star). Star + shooting.

When will the shooting star fall in 2022?

The last meteor shower of 2022 and one of the most anticipated peaks this week: the Geminids. Tuesday (13) and Wednesday (14) evenings are the best opportunity to see its beautiful shooting stars, which are usually very bright and even colorful.

When will the shooting star fall in 2022?

On October 21, up to 70 shooting stars per hour can be seen in the sky. The phenomenon is famous for its brightness and speed.

What day will shooting star 2022 take place?

Astronomical events in December 2022

This meteor shower starts on December 4th and lasts until the 17th, but its peak is predicted on the night of the 14th and will continue until the dawn of the 15th, more “shooting stars” can be seen!

Can you touch a star?

Can we raise the stars or touch them? With the exception of the Sun, which is also a star, all the others are very far away, and reaching them is still beyond the technological capabilities of mankind.

How long does a shooting star live?

When the speed of the “shooting stars” reaches its maximum, we call it a peak, which lasts one or two days and can produce up to 100 meteors per hour. There are several annual meteor showers, but not all of them are visible in the southern hemisphere (just like some of them are unique to the southern side of the planet).

A dream in which shooting stars appear is confidence in complete success. … If you saw in a dream a star falling to the Earth, beware of imminent danger on the road. If in a dream you pointed to a star, know that this is a moment of great luck and great joy.

How big is a shooting star?

Shooting stars vary in size, but they all get significantly smaller as they fall through the atmosphere. Meteors can be the size of a speck of dust, the size of a human fist, the size of a small house.

What causes shooting stars to rain?

A meteor shower occurs when the Earth passes through the region of its orbit where the comet has left a trail of gas and dust released by the comet as it approaches the Sun.

How long will it take for the shooting star to pass?

What time does the Perseid meteor shower start? The maximum peak of this phenomenon can be observed in the early hours of this Friday the 12th and Saturday the 13th from 2:30 to dawn. However, the best time to see it will be around 6 am on Saturday the 13th, when the meteor shower will be heading north in the sky.

What makes a star shine?

Almost all stars are made up primarily of a gas called hydrogen. The core of a star is very hot. When a lot of pressure compresses it, some of the hydrogen turns into another gas called helium. This process produces a huge amount of energy and makes the star shine.

Why does one star shine brighter than the others?

Why do stars shine brighter than others? The greater the mass of a star, the more energy it can produce, which means it will be a star with more intense brightness and, at the same time, with much less life.

Why is the Sun an important star?

It provides us with warmth and is an excellent source of light energy necessary for the survival of many living beings.

What color is the Sun?

Therefore the Sun is white. The shades of yellow and red that we see when we look at the sun are due to the scattering of the sun’s rays as they enter the atmosphere.

Why doesn’t the star shine during the day?

It is impossible to see the stars during the day because the sunlight is scattered by the Earth’s atmosphere, creating a blue glow in the daytime sky. This luminosity prevents us from seeing stars during the day.

The rotational movement causes day and night to change due to the difference in illumination in different parts of the planet. Thus, part of the planet is illuminated by the sun’s rays, corresponding to the day, and the opposite part does not receive sunlight, which corresponds to the night.

When Jesus was born, did a star shine?
