I was patrolling the Moon today, looking at the beautiful skybox, with its satellites and shootings stars, when I stopped to think to myself... how does that actually work?
Shooting stars are space rocks burning up in our atmosphere. Now, I don't know much about the nature of the moon, as I have yet to go there myself in real life, but knowing that it has far less atmosphere than the Earth, doesn't this mean that there wouldn't be visible shooting stars from the surface of the moon? I imagine it would just be really fast rocks slamming into the surface, not on "fire".
Another gift from the Traveler, along with normalized gravity across all the planets?
