meteor stream

Gone are the laser beams and meteor streams of the earlier production.

There were neither meteor streams nor dust clouds along this path.

At least one meteor stream spanning the distance between two stars had been guessed at from such records.

His field of interest contains meteors, meteor streams, meteorites, asteroids, and comets.

There were no comets, no asteroids, no meteor streams.

There were orbital motions and meteor streams and sometimes solar flares to complicate the problem, but it wasn't really difficult.

And meteor streams were like icebergs or derelicts floating awash, into which ships could crash to their destruction.

The meteor stream was viewable around April 23 but only in years around the parent comet's perihelion date, the last being in 2003.

Searchcraft found no wreckage, no evidence of solar flares or meteor streams or any other hazard, no humanoids.

Giovanni Schiaparelli realizes that meteor streams occur when the Earth passes through the orbit of a comet that has left debris along its path.

It has been calculated that the mass of the debris left in the Andromedid meteor stream is still much less than the total mass of the comet.

It's a meteor stream that intersects the Earth's orbit every year just before the middle of August...probably the remains of a broken-up comet.

These comets have also be linked to several meteor streams, including the Daytime Arietids, the delta Aquariids, and the Quadrantids.

The stellar population of the galaxy wasn't only bright and shining suns, warning passing ships of their existence and the planets and meteor streams that might circle them.

Comet D/1819 W1 has been proposed as the probable source of the Phoenicid meteor stream, since the first observation of a Phoenicids meteor storm in 1956.

Freddy Holmes, newly commissioned and assigned to the detector station on Luna which keeps track of asteroids and meteor streams, had discovered a small object coming in over Neptune.

The Marsden and Kracht groups both appear to be related to Comet 96P/Machholz, which is also the parent of two meteor streams, the Quadrantids and the Arietids.

Since the meteor stream is rather spread out in space, Earth takes several weeks to pass through it, causing an extended period of meteor activity, compared with the much smaller periods of activity in other showers.

Because the position of Teplickzky's observed radiant and the 1935 radiant were close to the position of Comet Kiess, the comet was confirmed as the source of the Aurigid meteor stream.

Using it, a patrol ship surveying the Rhymer passage could change its message and add warning of a newly discovered meteor stream, the future approach of a burned-out solar system, or a new patch of cosmic dust.

He rejected Darwinism, and with his onetime student Chandra Wickramasinghe, he suggested that epidemics might be spawned by space-born viruses contracted when the earth passes through meteor streams, an idea scorned by the overwhelming majority of scientists.

When the V-2 attacks ceased, the echoes did not; Hey concluded that meteor trails were responsible and that radar could be used to track meteor streams, and could of course do so by day as well as by night.

This hypothesis is supported in work by British cometary astrophysicists, who find that earth was at increased risk of bombardment by cometary debris in the AD 400-600 timeframe, based on the frequency of fireball activity in the Taurid meteor streams recorded in Chinese archives.

CCNet (Cambridge Conference Network), a network which aims to stimulate debate and disseminate information and research findings relating to risks to civilization from Near-Earth Object including comets, asteroids, and meteor streams and what it considers as doomsday scaremongering about the possible effects of climate change.
