A Rocket Booster Falls Back to Earth
			
		
		
		What's that crossing the sky?
Although it looked a bit like a large meteor, it 
was actually the booster of a Chinese rocket returning to Earth after its launch two days earlier.  
On the night of July 27, the 
rocket component heated up and broke up 
into 
glowing pieces as it re-entered 
Earth's atmosphere. 
The path of the 
falling booster 
took it over several US states, moving west to east, from 
California to Utah.
Space debris 
can usually be distinguished 
from meteors by its slow speed and expansive break up. 
The featured video was taken in front of the 
Provo City Library in 
Utah, which was 
coincidently occupied by 
over 100 people -- 
many with smartphones already out of their pockets playing 
Pokemon GO.
