A meteoroid is a sand- to boulder-sized particle of debris in the Solar System. The visible path of a meteoroid that enters Earth's (or another body's) atmosphere is called a meteor, or colloquially a shooting star or falling star. If a meteoroid reaches the ground and survives impact, then it is called a meteorite. Many meteors appearing seconds or minutes apart are called a meteor shower. The root word meteor comes from the Greek meteōros, meaning "high in the air".
Around 15,000 metric tons of meteoroids, space dust, and debris of different types enters Earth's atmosphere each year.
As of 2011 the International Astronomical Union officially defines a meteoroid as "a solid object moving in interplanetary space, of a size considerably smaller than an asteroid and considerably larger than an atom". Beech and Steel, writing in Quarterly Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society, proposed a new definition where a meteoroid is between 100 µm and 10 m across. Following the discovery and naming of asteroids below 10 m in size (e.g., 2008 TC3), Rubin and Grossman refined the Beech and Steel definition of meteoroid to objects between 10 µm and 1 m in diameter. The NEO definition includes larger objects, up to 50 m in diameter, in this category. Very small meteoroids are known as micrometeoroids (see also interplanetary dust).
Plot
Ratio Rasch, the president of planet Gyllenblå, has banned laughter and emotions in order to create a society based on reason. Police are constantly patrolling the planet and anyone caught laughing is imprisoned and given anti-laughter serum. Only a few members of an underground guerrilla oppose the president. On Earth, the eccentric Dr. Krull listens to signals from outer space and realizes that something needs to be done so he sends the two children Cecilie and Fredrik to Gyllenblå. Epicykel, a guerrilla member, senses their presence and hopes to get to them first but fails. The children are put in school, where Fredrik has great difficulty controlling his laughter but Cecilie adapts well. The guerrilla knows that laughter is contagious and Fredrik gives them new hope of returning laughter to the people of Gyllenblå.

My fingertips are cold to the touch Lit up by the frozen moon
Though my cracked heart Clutches at the night as it burns out
If that feeling that glittered for a moment in the distance Is love, then make it a dream
The light it gives off falls from the sky Giving me all the heat I could wish for
The flames that have appeared on the dying stars Burn with the the dreams of the next generation
If I can change the sins that rain down into tenderness And thorns into smiles
It resembled the unheard screams Of the flowers on the verge of losing their petals
The fleetingness of wishing, the pain of longing Shakes up the time we met
Swallowed up in a wave of grief and light Amid the pain, you awaken
The bond that could be formed by hurting each other Now begins to paint my loneliness
Cutting through the life that pours down with my wings Please, please, hold me
The light falls from the sky again Giving me all the heat I could wish for
Heut geht's nicht gut [so schlecht]
Der Rest der kann mich mal!
Nach diesem Wortgefecht
Verlasse ich den Saal.
Der Mitmensch achtet micht
Nicht mehr und stellt mich hinten dran.
Doch dieses Schiedsgericht
Besteht aus einem Mann!
Wieder schließe ich heimlich die Augen - erlebe diesen Traum
Das ist der Ritt auf Meteor - die Laufbahn stört mich kaum
Ein Wesen wär's gewesen wofür ich mich jetzt noch verbeuge
Auf Kollisionskurs - Der Einschlag steht bevor [so nah]
Meteor!
Das macht ihr nicht noch mal mit mir,
Dass ich meinen Verstand
Verliere Kontrolle - übers Schiff
Der Meteor ist jetzt in Sicht!
Ich ziehe euch aus, zuerst eure Haut
Das hättet ihr mir wohl nie zugetraut
Verzichtet aus Mahl, denn ich hab was dabei
Ein Gängemenü mit Geigengeschrei
Jetzt gehts mir gut [so gut]
Hab wunderbar geträumt
Ich würd's gern wieder tun
Hab viele Praktiken versäumt
Doch seh ich jetzt erst was geschah,
Traf euch mein Meteor
Wart ihm I'm Weg auf seiner Bahn
Mein liebster Traum wurd wahr...
Wieder schließe ich heimlich die Augen - erlebe diesen Traum
Das ist der Ritt auf Meteor - die Laufbahn stört mich kaum
Ein Wesen wär's gewesen wofür ich mich jetzt noch verbeuge
Hearts all around my feet
Don't you ever sweep the street
If they still can keep a beat
Hands holding other hands
I'm a girl and you're a man
Do you know what's moving me?
One night a meteor came to my door
And he asked me to dance
One night a shooting star
He traveled far just to ask me to dance
Arms give away your need
Tie them up and around me
And play me as you please
Dance, nothing left to spare
Fill it up with all your air
You're the one I want to see
One night a meteor came to my door
And he asked me to dance
One night a shooting star
He traveled far just to ask me to dance
One night a meteor came to my door
And he asked me to dance
One night a shooting star
He traveled far just to ask me to dance
Who knew that fate was so sublime?
It's not a remedy
But it keeps the embers in the fire burning strong
Though the days and the weeks grow long
Oh, you could be comforted by just how profound
One little sound I know, is quiet and ever
Together we'll watch this time unravels
We'll watch the heavens travel
And we'll be fine, and all we see
The path we choose is destiny
Meteor, calypso, I find it everywhere you go
Seen it all, 'cause I've been so
You gotta know what you're looking for
And every little way you go, it's all you know
Oh, woah your meteor, oh woah
Maybe you wrote down your name in the sand
Well I've seen better, plant your heels in the ground
Waiting patiently, we're carved in a mountain
A penny in a fountain, the drive alone
And now you've seen silver wings
And so much faster things
Oh, oh oh, they lift you up
And you need a dream to fly
Not some paper airplane
Meteor, calypso, I find it everywhere you go
I've seen it all, 'cause I've been so
You gotta know what you're looking for
And every little way you go, it's all you know
Oh, woah your meteor
Oh why don't you ride on, yeah
Why don't you ride on
Why don't you ride on
Oh, why don't you ride on
Let it be said that these two
Felt the awesome power and the tragedy
Of a love so real that only they could feel
Waiting patiently, they drifted apart and then together
Like words uttered by lovers
Do you think that I'd lie to you
Woah, if something I could not do
Gonna move that wing forever
Just like a
Meteor, calypso, find it everywhere you go
I've seen it all, 'cause I've been so
You gotta know what you're looking for
And every little way you go, it's all you know
Oh, woah your meteor
Oh, why don't you ride on
Why don't you ride on
Why don't you ride on
Evaluate just what it's worth
This rotting world
This dump we call the earth
What do I care, have no regret
The future sky
A blackened mournful death
Disbelief, irritate
Disagree, circulate
Expedite, disengage
Blast off, disarray
Radio signals, complete shutdown
Stereo vision, freedom unbound
What do I see, a layer of cloud
In front of me
The future wanders on
Shift the gear, elevate
Disappear, gone away
Lost control, hesitate
Destroy, terminate
Radio signals, complete shutdown
Stereo vision, freedom unbound
A shooting star is crashing down
this meteor
has left a burning ground
Negative, desolate
Sorrowful, purity
Positive, energy
Depressed, isolate
Radio signals, complete shut down
Stereo vision, freedom unbound
I don't care no more
I don't fucking care
