What causes Shooting Stars?

By Andrew Kim


People believe that if you make a wish after seeing a shooting star, it will come true. Shooting stars are fascinating, but it's not really a wish casting magical thing.

Stars and Planets are things we think about when we think “Space”. They are also the easiest things to see in the night sky. But they aren't the only things moving around in space.

There are rocks moving around too. These rocks can be as tiny as particles of dust, and some are bigger than boulders. These rocks are actually what shooting stars are. They may seem to glow and twinkle like stars, but it’s actually them going through the Earth's atmosphere and burning up.
