Last weekend I was staying at a friend’s farm, a farmhouse in a valley. I went outside at about midnight to get some fresh air. Suddenly the sky lit up bright green, and I looked up to be a meteorite zooming overhead, very close, maybe only a few hundred feet overhead. It headed down the valley and disintegrated in a show of sparks. I was perhaps the only person on Earth to see this. So, rocks from the sky are more common than most people think, as few people bother now to look at, as the philosopher Kant described it, at the starry heavens above. However, the Earth narrowly missed getting hit by a city-destroying meteorite that was 200 foot long, and travelling fast. It was not spotted until two days after passing as it came from the direction of the Sun, and was not visible.
