Shooting Stars as Iron-Cobalt Meteors in Camile Flammarion
Flammarion explains shooting stars as small iron carbon bodies weighing a few pounds that travel through space in swarms and orbit the sun like comets. When entering the sun’s path they deflect toward Earth and many appear in one night. Brightness comes from motion heat, with speeds up to 444 km/s, far faster than Earth. A shower from opposite direction speeds up to 72 km/s, then 1644 km/s, heating to 3006 C until they burn.
