  • Summary

  • In today's episode, we're gazing up at the night sky to answer a stellar question: What is a shooting star?


    Have you ever spotted a streak of light zip across the dark sky and someone said, “Make a wish!”?


    We call those shooting stars, but are they really stars shooting through space?


    Today, we’ll discover what’s really happening when you see a “falling star,” why these cosmic light shows happen, and whether you should worry about one landing on your head.


    Grab your telescope (or just your imagination), and let's launch into the answer!
