we could start with a large magnifying glass from a projection TV and aim it at a smaller one to focus the energy

Look for this while you are skywatching...

wait what logos

Speaking of skywatching does anyone want to buy me a telescope?

im gonna go listen to gangplank galloen to calm my mind

idk i'm just spitballing on how we can amplify the magnified light

rad is there really a meteor shower tonight

thought that wasn't possible on the FE model

meteor showers, what even are they, because rocks won't produce that much light

they're burning up that's what causes the light

and streak

Trust me space rocks are reallllllly powerful

Meteor showers are rocks burning up

why isn't the light red/yellow then

a number of meteors that appear to radiate from one point in the sky at a particular date each year, due to the earth's regularly passing through a field of particles at that position in its orbit. Meteor showers are named after the constellation in which the radiant is situated, e.g., the Perseids.

Not really just that

idk lets find out

because of the material is being burned off

But also ice and dust trails

it is too bright, looking just light stars

That is ice and rock being burned, so a different color trail

@Bibleman The atoms in the meteoroid emit light because they are heated up by entering the atmosphere, and so they burn and release different wavelengths of light, or different colors, in the same way that putting different compounds into fireworks makes them explode in different colors

*like

going through the atmosphere really is a wild ride

Also fire doesn't have to be red or yellow

like the atomic emission specturm (?)

You can prove it pretty easily

yeyeye The emission spectrum of a chemical element or chemical compound is the spectrum of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation emitted due to an atom or molecule making a transition from a high energy state to a lower energy state.

Dont look at things burning as always being red hot, it always depends on the material and wavelength

^

it's something else though, as meteors don't exist

lmao alright

lol

I doubt that the streaks have the same conditions to behave like normal fire

that's just a bit of denial right there

yup

what are they then

I'm assuming stars

well, lets go to hebrew mythology

oh no

oh god
