Nasa shares mesmerizing picture of a meteor wind over Tunisia
Stargazers had been in for a treat last week as Perseid meteor shower lit up the sky between August 11 and 13. However, have you ever wondered if the Earth ever passes through a wind of meteors? Yes! Meteor wind often appears as a meteor shower on our planet. As explained by Nasa, most meteors are sand-sized debris that escaped from a Sun-orbiting comet or asteroid. These debris continue in an elongated orbit around the Sun. “Circling the same Sun, our Earth can move through an orbiting debris stream, where it can appear, over time, as a meteor wind,” says Nasa.
