The operation of nuclear power plants is virtually carbon - neutral , although the processes of mining and enriching uranium fuel , operating backup generators and disposing of waste all produce emissions . Still , nuclear presents far less of a threat to the climate than oil and fracked gas , and advocates say that the opposition is more ideological than evidence - based . Potential safety threats are another matter : The Chernobyl explosiondisaster.fireexplosion.fireexplosionand meltdown , which took place 30 years ago , as well as the 2011 disaster at Fukushima cast a long shadow over the nuclear - energy debate . Uranium mining can also be hazardous to workers and the environment . And then there ’s the problem of where to store spent fuel rods .

Every single day Earth is peppered with around 100 tons of space debris . The vast majority of this mass is no bigger than a grain of sand , and on a clear night you might be lucky to see these tiny specks burn up in the high atmosphere as meteors .

These are called meteors ( or " shooting stars " ) . Larger ( and rarer ) pieces of space rock will hit the atmosphere as a meteor and may explode as a bolide ( as the Chelyabinsk event dramatically showcased ) , some pieces hitting the ground as meteorites .
