The remnants of Halley’s Comet make for a pretty good show every October. Here are some quick facts about “shooting stars” in their honor:

The rate of meteorites hitting humans is .0055 per year, or once time every 180 years.

Meteors enter the Earth’s atmosphere at speeds as high as 130,000 miles per hour.

The International Space Station is expected to be hit with an estimated 100,000 meteoroids during its planned 20-year life span.

Estimates of the mass of material meteoric material that falls on Earth each year range from 37,000-78,000 tons.
