Falling meteorite on a planet in Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy

According the online information,

first and foremost, meteorites are not harmful to humans or to any terrestrial life. Meteorite handling procedures are designed to protect the meteorite from terrestrial contamination and alteration, not to protect people from meteorites.On the picture above, they are already in a nice place on the planet.

Like meteorites, meteors are objects that enter Earth's atmosphere from space. But meteors—which are typically pieces of comet dust no larger than a grain of rice—burn up before reaching the ground. The term “meteorite” refers only to those bodies that survive the trip through the atmosphere and reach Earth's surface. Before the small bit of comet or asteroid enters Earth’s atmosphere, it floats through interplanetary space and is called a meteoroid.

The Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy is an irregular galaxy, the closest neighbouring galaxy to the Earth's location in the Milky Way, being located about 25,000 light-years (236,000,000,000,000,000 km) away from our Solar System.

Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy is located in the same part of the sky as the constellation Canis Major. Canis Major is a constellation in the southern celestial hemisphere.The southern celestial hemisphere is also called the Southern Sky. Some constellations in the northern sky are Leo, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Virgo, Libra, Scorpius, Sagittarius, Capricornus, Aquarius and Pisces.

 

We hope that humans are able to travel that far one day if we are able to survive the dangers like asteroids, comets, global warming ,climate change, racism, nationalism, hunger, wars, viruses (like coronavirus), sicknesses, genetic-mutation, etc.
