Some people call this a falling star. In 1886, Professor Louis Frank raised an interesting question that caused a storm in the scientific world. According to measurements from space, it is estimated that about 30,000 meteors enter Earth every day. On average, a meteor enters every 3 seconds.

But when ice enters, what happens to it? It melts. That's why we don't see it.
