流星雨

作者: 周亚丽

Have you seen meteor shower?In the past two years,we have many opportunities to see it.

When it happens during night,you can have a beautiful view.The meteorites range in size from dust grains to small pebbles.Before reaching Earth,they will burn up.So there is no threat to people.But satellites and space stations may have a small chance of getting damaged.

Recently,the most spectacular meteor storm was in 1996.There were more than 2 500 meteors streaked across the sky every minute.

你见过流星雨吗?在过去的两年里,我们有很多机会可以一睹它的风采。

当它发生在夜晚时,你可以看见非常美丽的情景。从尘埃颗粒到小石头,一颗颗流星排列着形成一定规模。到达地球之前,他们会燃烧起来,所以流星雨不会对人们产生威胁,但是卫星和空间站就有可能受到损害。

近年来,最壮观的流星雨要数发生在1996年的那次。每一分钟有2 500多颗流星划过天空。
