The annual Perseid meteor rain - a real show. Shooting stars and meteors pierce the night sky like fireworks. During a cycle of orbital motion of the Earth reaches the same mass flow of space at the same time of year. The phenomenon is named after Perseus - the constellation from which, as scientists believe, and there are these meteors. This year, amateur astronomers were disappointed as most of the show was hidden light of the moon. To properly enjoy this event, you need to go as far as possible from the city and look towards the constellation Perseus. (NASA)
Americans in 1979 were probably shocked no less than we do, when we learned then that 77, 5-ton spacecraft Skylab to fall from space and fly away as colorfully written in the newspaper «Time», to "the heavenly rain of burning metal, comparable in beauty with fireworks on Independence Day. " Skylab was the first space station of its kind in the United States and its fall was unprecedented. In just six years after it brought to the Earth's orbit, and 10 years after the first landing on the moon, Skylab returned to Earth, falling into the Indian Ocean, and to the territory of Western Australia.

Thousands of dead birds fell from the sky over Arkansas in early 2011, and many immediately thought that doomsday is near. However, the massive decline of birds can be explained more logically - most likely it was due to bad weather conditions. For example strong winds, lightning and hail, or launch fireworks, especially in rural areas where the birds live in flocks, just scared to death explosions. Despite the number of hypotheses, scientists have not reached a consensus about the cause of the mass death of birds. (Stephen B. Thornton, The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette / AP Photo)
In contrast, birds that have fallen from the sky on the Arkansas and Louisiana this year, the fish that fell in Australia in 2010 was very much alive.

The story of the meteorite, which fell on Egypt from Mars 100 years ago, is half legend, half history.

According to some historical notes, it appears unhappy dog who are not fortunate enough to be on the path of a meteorite. One witness reported that the dog immediately turned to ash. However, the researchers found that when meteors fall to Earth, they cool down, and then burning the dog is likely to lie. (Photo courtesy of the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History)
Probably the most disgusting "thing" that fell from the sky in the modern history of this "blue ice", which is called the human waste falling from the aircraft toilets.

The largest object of natural origin, that ever fell from space in North America - is Willamette meteorite. Weighing in at 15, 5 tons of the iron-nickel stone, discovered in 1902, became the sixth largest object of its kind. Willamette has become one of the most famous meteorite in history. Among others - the oldest and largest meteorite, which fell to a small commune in France in 1492. In 1803, thousands of meteorites have confirmed the theory of the German physicist Ernst Chladni that there were stones in space. (Boyer, Roger Viollet / Getty Images)
Probably the most valuable object that fell from the sky, it's ... gold! Scientists have proven that in the past on Earth had strong meteor showers that have changed the chemical composition of the planet, causing appeared gold and other precious metals, which we love so much today.
