Hey Darryl,
Working! On Saturday evening? In the words of Ebenezer Scrooge, "Bah,
humbug."
My wife and daughter are out buying some new shoes and when asked if I
wanted to come along, I politely replied, "no."
I pretended to begin ironing clothes but the moment they left I took out my
telescopes for a night of observing - a much more pleasurable activity ;-).

Fun question! In the office working on this Saturday evening and thankful
for this distraction ;-) I'm going to go with what you've surmised:
"meteoroid" until striking Earth's surface. all best / d

Hello Everyone,
The term "meteor" refers to the light phenomenon as an object from space
enters the Earth's atmosphere. What is the proper term for the object
itself?
A meteoroid is an object in space. Is it still called a meteoroid when
it enters the Earth's atmosphere?
