21. Asteroids, Comets, And Meteors Theme Page The primary focus of the Community Learning Network (CLN) is to help K12 teachersintegrate Information Technology into their classrooms. http://www.cln.org/themes/asteroids.html

Asteroids, Comets, and Meteors Theme Page This "Theme Page" has links to two types of resources related to the study of asteroids, comets and meteors. Students and teachers will find curricular resources (information, content...) to help them learn about this topic. In addition, there are also links to instructional materials (lesson plans) which will help teachers provide instruction in this theme. Please read our Asteroid and Comet Impact Hazards "Although the annual probability of the Earth being struck by a large asteroid or comet is extremely small, the consequences of such a collision are so catastrophic that it is prudent to assess the nature of the threat and prepare to deal with it." This NASA site provides basic information about such possibilities including government reports and FAQs about impacts, asteroids and comets. Build Your Own Comet Advice and a recipe for building a six inch comet. The site also provides basic information about comets. Constellation Prizes In this lesson plan, grade 6-12 students "learn about meteors, meteorites, and comets by reading and discussing a related New York Times article about the Leonid meteor showers and the methods that scientists are using to learn from these meteors. Students then create and observe a comet in their classroom."

23. SPACE.com -- Comets, Meteors & Myth: New Evidence For Toppled Civilizations And Article on science.com suggests evidence that a giant comet impact and associated meteor storms could have wiped out early civilizations and caused a great flood. http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/planetearth/comet_bronzeage_011113-1.html

advertisement By Robert Roy Britt Senior Science Writer posted: 07:00 am ET 13 November 2001 "...and the seven judges of hell ... raised their torches, lighting the land with their livid flame. A stupor of despair went up to heaven when the god of the storm turned daylight into darkness, when he smashed the land like a cup." An account of the Deluge from the Epic of Gilgamesh, circa 2200 B.C. If you are fortunate enough to see the storm of shooting stars predicted for the Nov. 18 peak of the Leonid meteor shower, you'll be watching a similar but considerably less powerful version of events which some scientists say brought down the world's first civilizations. The root of both: debris from a disintegrating comet. Biblical stories, apocalyptic visions, ancient art and scientific data all seem to intersect at around 2350 B.C., when one or more catastrophic events wiped out several advanced societies in Europe, Asia and Africa. able > SCIENCE TUESDAY Visit SPACE.com to explore a new science feature each Tuesday. >>Go to Science Tuesday archive page Images A 1994 image of Comet Borrelly on one of its swings around the Sun.

35. Comets And Meteors The bright tail of a comet and the streak of a meteor are two of the most beautiful meteors, asteroids, and comets are not really separate things, http://nfo.edu/astro/comet.htm

Comets and Meteors The cycles of the Sun, Moon and Stars are very regular, and we know where they will be for hundreds of years. Not everything in space is like that, though. The bright tail of a comet and the streak of a meteor are two of the most beautiful surprises in nature. Meteors, asteroids, and comets are not really separate things, just different forms of the same thing - space debris (rocks). Very large chunks of rock in space are called asteroids. Thousands of asteroids orbit between Mars and Jupiter in the Asteroid belt. Meteoroids are smaller chunks of rock in space. When they enter our atmosphere they start to burn, and are called meteors. Meteors streak across the sky, blazing bright for only a few seconds. What we call "shooting stars" are actually meteors. As the Earth moves in its orbit around the Sun, it occasionally crosses the stream of dust left by a comet, and this causes a meteor shower. Sometimes meteors are large enough to survive the fiery trip through the atmosphere, and actually hit the ground. These are called meteorites. Most meteorites are small and they cause very little damage when they hit. Most of them land in water, which covers 2/3 of our planet. There are only two documented cases of a person being hit by a meteorite.

37. Comets And Meteors What is the period of a comet? Famous comets and then meteors. meteors, unlikecomets, are not giant balls of ice. They have the same beautiful effect as http://library.thinkquest.org/23830/comets.htm

Comets are one of the most beloved of space objects by many stargazers and hardcore astronomers. Their simple beauty as they streak the sky fill people of all ages in awe, filling them with hope, or superstition. Much superstition has clouded comets in the past; from weather predictions, to the deaths of hundreds of famous historical people have all been attributed to the sighting of a comet. Meteors, unlike comets, are not giant balls of ice. They have the same beautiful effect as comets do, and sometimes in more numerous amounts. Meteor showers are now known to be annual events, instead of 'miracles from above' as thought in ancient civilization. Click here to go back.
