burn up

In the very first event, Servite’s boys 4x100 relay team burned up the track in 40 seconds flat, a new state and meet record and the fastest prep time this season.

As a result, objects in this region are now experiencing less drag than they did decades ago — which means they are staying up longer, and fewer are completely burning up on reentry.

Getting them out of orbit means they re-enter the atmosphere, burning up — but not without a trace.

It is likely that others, albeit much smaller, have hit us or burned up in the atmosphere but gone unnoticed.

During this time, fragments of the rocket burning up as fireballs could be seen in the skies over the country, according to the Polish Press Agency and videos shared on social media.
