NASA is trying to hear the meteors approaching the Earth

NASA managed to track the sound of the meteor as it falls; the sound is muffled and mysterious but NASA hopes that it will help understand the movement of meteors in space that consistently approach the Earth

One of the pessimistic theories among NASA scientists predicts the destruction of the Earth. According to the theory, it will be destroyed following a collision with a giant meteor. From the observations of the scientists, it is known that every hour about 80 meteorites fall into the Earth's atmosphere. Because of this, the scientists try to know every that is possible on their track.

The meteor, looks like a big flame leaving behind a trail of fire. its size

Huge, sometimes more than the earth. Recently there was a breakthrough in the field after scientists were able to also capture the sounds produced by a meteor while falling.

The discovery was made possible thanks to the radio wave tracking system set up by NASA. The radio waves were able to track the meteorite's fast trajectory. And what's more, to capture a dull and mysterious sound every time a meteor plunged. The system was placed at the Marshall Space Center in Alabama, where the echo produced by the meteor is recorded , listen and analyze it.

The new device can receive video signals up to 67 MHz with the help of a special radar that transmits the video waves of the meteor as well as the radio waves.

From an observation made in recent years of the meteor shower, it is possible to see the meteor at its peak, more than two seconds before it quickly falls again. In the XNUMXs the meteor would peak quickly and fall slowly. The scientists attribute the change to the fact that the movement of the meteors is apparently closer to the Earth's orbit.
