REVISED 9/29/2023 (Audio issue fixed!)
Basically, we wanted to discuss meteoroids, meteors, and meteorites. We are not going to deep in this segment, hence the "Part I", because we wanted to save time to discuss meteor shower viewing tips as well. Plus we wanted to discuss some of the planetary shifting going on this summer and how it shapes up for fall!

Meteors and Showers Part I: Sorry, No Meteor Baths

Looking up on a clear, dark night inspires a sense of amazement. The darker your sky, the more you begin to wonder, "What IS that?" But even basic questions like "Is the moon really visible in the daytime", or "Why do we get so much daylight in the summer?" may seem like they should be obvious. 

In astronomy, apparent magnitude is the rating scale for object brightness whether it be a planet, star, or galaxy. Did you know that the lower the number, the brighter the object? Your eyes can see through the 6th magnitude, but in the 7th, you need visual aid. The same can be true for knowledge.
