The thing we call a "falling star" is a meteor; a rock falling from space and being heated to incandescence by friction and compressive heating. The average space rock which creates a meteor is the size of a grain of rice, and is rarely as big as a Baseball.
If the falling space rock survives to reach the ground, the remains or fragments are called "meteorites".
Every few years, a space rock (sometimes called a "meteoroid") as big as a car will hit the Earth; these large impacts can be very impressive, and if big enough, can cause considerable damage on the Earth. For example, last year on February 15, 2013, a space rock the size of a bus slammed into the Earth and exploded over the Russian city of Chelyabinsk. The shock wave shattered windows all over town, but the injuries were mostly limited to flying glass.
65 million years ago, an enormous rock about the size of a city slammed into the Earth, and the explosion killed off about 75% of all life on Earth, including all the dinosaurs. So catastrophes are possible, but unlikely.
The web site "SpaceWeather.com" has a graphic showing the trajectories and orbits of some of the visible "fireballs" observed in the night sky over their limited network of cameras.

When in the mine, you can walk around the mine floor and you'll eventually fall down a hole to a different level. you can fall a few floors at a time, but i suggest you go with a full stamina and low fatigue because everytime you hit an animal or fall down, your stamine falls.
