Visual space meteor shower simulator-meteorshowers

Meteor Showers As Seen From Space is a visual space meteor shower simulator developed by Ian Webster, based on the meteor data of "Peter Jenniskens". Readers can enjoy it through this website.

Term explanation: "Meteor showers are astronomical phenomena in the night sky where many meteors are emitted from a so-called radiant point in the sky. These meteors are fragments of the universe called meteoroids, which are projected into the Earth's atmosphere at extremely high speeds while running on parallel orbits. Most meteoroids are smaller than gravel, so almost all meteoroids will be destroyed in the atmosphere and will not hit the surface of the Earth; fragments that can hit the surface of the Earth are called meteorites."

Meteor showers on Earth are caused by streams of meteoroids hitting the atmosphere. These meteoroids are rock fragments the size of sand and pebbles that were once released from their parent comets. Some comets are no longer active and are now called asteroids.

"Space Meteor Shower Simulator - MeteorShowers" allows you to enjoy various meteor shower effects from multiple perspectives, with a fully visual display. You can move the screen by dragging the mouse, or zoom in and out with the mouse scroll key, especially in full-screen mode, for the most visually stunning viewing experience.
