Meteors are more than just pretty lights in the sky. Since the majority of meteor-producing meteoroids originate from comets, they contain invaluable information about these objects not otherwise obtainable. ... One such possibility is the planet Mars. ... Taking into account the slower average speed of incoming material at the heliocentric distance of Mars from the Sun, a meteoroid of the same mass entering the martian atmosphere at 30km/sec would produce a meteor +0.5 mag fainter than at Earth. ...

This artist's concept shows comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 heading into Jupiter in July 1994, while its dust cloud creates a rippling wake in Jupiter's ring.

... Slit-plate Deflection . ... One end of the approximately 2m long fiber is inserted into a hole in an aluminum plug-plate, and the other end is fed into and supported by a slit-plate. ... Since the fibers are to be calibrated from a fixed position, it will be necessary to know how much the slit-plate deflects under its own weight due to gravity, as well as how much it deflects under the weight of the fibers and harnesses. The deflection of two plates of thickness 3.175 and 3.607mm was tested. ...
