Hello,<br /><br />I am writing a story and I want to get some of the explanation down correctly. I explained the action as far as I could in the rough draft but I pretty sure that I was a bit off base as I just wanted to depict the act as it appeared to people living on the planet.<br /><br />I explained it as a moon that terrestial scientists had determined was approaching the planet closer each year. That the moon, from the ground, seemed to glow from within (volcanic problems due to strengthening gravity), and one day seemed to be torn apart. Over the next few days the remnents seem to stretch across the sky until finally it stretched across the entire sky. I think I put this in the time from of just a few years. I then went on to describe the "falling stars" that occurred every few seconds or so. All of them flashing in the same general direction.<br /><br />How far off am I? Is the time line close? Would volcanic action be visible from the surface of the planet itself?<br /><br />If you wouldn't mind helping me out on this, you can either reply on this board or email me at allan_35@yahoo.com.<br /><br />Thank you in advance.
