    Meteor showers create a spectacular light show for spectators to enjoy. Have you ever witnessed one in person?
  • Sometimes if I'm bored I just go rooftop and watch the stars and hoping for alien to come and invade us
  • The voice, music, visuals, and topic combined together is beautifully soothing. It really takes me back to when I'd lie down the roof and count and wish with every shooting star I see.

    I saw myself yesterday! In blink of eye it was gone! How wonderful it is to see something like this. Our world is so beautiful ❤️
  • @Uchiha.Itachii
    Can y’all believe that we’re real and actually can see stars that are million miles away 💀 sometimes I just think about how tf were even living in this small world in the universe, think about how small we actually are too

    Beautiful video. in the summertime I went with my friends in dark places to see shooting stars and it's wonderfull. Pretty sad that we can't see clearly the sky because there is so much light pollution from our citys. One day I will see this amazing show in the desert

    Who all are here, after looking at a shooting star for the first time in their life? I saw one yesterday and it was an inspiring moment.
  • @dwija1325
    I saw them sometimes but they disappeared so fast that i couldn't tell if i really saw them or just my imagination

    I saw a meteorite a few minutes ago at 10:45 pm - on 30 July 2023 in Faisalabad, Pakistan. I am super excited after watching an element of the space ecosystem.

    About 18 months ago, my family and I were talking, standing roughly 100 ft from some RR tracks. Then a meteor hit, right about where the tracks were. We didn’t hear anything at all. We were so mesmerized by the bright flames. Once it landed, it was like it hadn’t happened. It was so quick and there wasn’t any aftermath as far as the eye could see. I will never forget that day.

    I was on vacation in Austria during the last summer. At 10pm on the uppers places in Vienna, I've seen the gemids passing by. It was really exceptional.
  • @AzlianaLyana
    They are beautiful but also scary at the same time. Hopefully nothing large enough gets past the atmosphere. Thanks NG

    A couple of minutes ago I’ve just assisted a star shooting😍 Taking into consideration the fact that we’re on 17th of April, I believe they were the Lyrids as shown in the video. I counted 15 of them and also one managed to produce a bright light when falling because of the speed I guess. It was absolutely incredible.

    What's shown in this video are airplanes flying over the night sky... *facepalm
  • @ZeeTheOne1

    I saw my first shooting star a few weeks ago. I was with this girl I go to college with out in the country side just looking at the stars. I saw a small one and freaked out. She didn’t believe me. Then literally 30 seconds later we saw a super bright one and both looked at eachother and just stared in ahhh. It was amazing

    I wish humanity (on this planet) could come together as one giant company and run as one. we are too focused on ourselves and not the infinity we are currently floating in.
