Astronomy
Flying through a meteor stream
Fly Earth through a comet’s debris stream. Increase the entry velocity and watch parallel paths converge toward a common sky radiant.
The model and its limits
Parallel ballistic paths and a single-body exponential-atmosphere energy-deposition proxy. Fragmentation, ablation and luminous efficiency are not resolved.
Equations used in the module
Equations E/m = v²/2; ρ(h) = ρ₀ exp(-h/H); incident energy flux = ρv³/2
