Its note
Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 782.3 Hz, 4 cents flat of G5. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

About it
A meteor, or shooting star, is the streak of light made when a bit of space rock rushes into the air at tens of kilometers a second and burns up. Most are no bigger than a grain of sand. A very bright one is called a fireball, and a piece that survives to reach the ground is a meteorite.
Tap it and it streaks in and bursts in a fireball, its rock flying apart in glowing pieces that burn out. Then the next one streaks in to take its place. Many tons of space dust fall on the Earth every day.
