Summary

Meteor Showers explores the fascinating world of these celestial displays, explaining their origins and the science behind their fiery passage through Earth's atmosphere. It answers how "shooting stars" form, why they're so visually stunning, and where they originate in space, bridging astronomy, atmospheric physics, and planetary science. The book emphasizes the cosmic origins and physical processes governing meteor showers, highlighting their importance in understanding the solar system's evolution and the composition of comets and asteroids, acting as natural probes delivering samples to our atmosphere.

 
Did you know that the color of a meteor is linked to its chemical composition? Or that studying meteors helps us understand the distribution of space debris? 

 
This book progresses logically, beginning with the basics of meteoroids and their parent bodies, supported by data from space missions. It then delves into the atmospheric physics involved as meteoroids burn up, using models and observational data. Finally, it examines specific meteor showers like the Perseids and Leonids, detailing their history and orbital characteristics. Presenting scientific findings in accessible language with diagrams and data visualizations, it avoids jargon to ensure comprehension across varying scientific backgrounds. Meteor Showers uniquely combines astronomical observations with atmospheric modeling for a comprehensive understanding.

Larry L. Rasmussen

For the first time ever, love letters consciously written by elders of one geologic epoch to the young of another.

From this vantage point—two generations across two geological epochs facing a fundamentally changing planet—Larry Rasmussen writes to his grandchildren. As a grandfather invested in a green earth and climate justice as well as a scholar of faith-based earth ethics, Rasmussen bridges this gap between generations to write to the future about climate change, global citizenship, democracy, and legacy. In topics ranging from "A Viable Way of Life" and "Democracy" to "Where We've Come From" and "Who We Are Now," Rasmussen explores the large questions of justice, meaning, and faith, encouraging us to speak to and look to the future generation and their future world.
