Shooting Star Day - The DCT for August 24th

[mommamea13]

I read that today is shooting star day. So what is a shooting star?

"A shooting star or falling star is the common name for the visible path of a meteoroid as it enters the atmosphere. A shooting star is also broken pieces of meteors that have become broken off in space." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_Star)

Would you like to see a shooting star?
