Have you ever seen a shooting Star?

Question

AlexBlack007 · Accepted Answer

YES! About a dozen in a single night. And that will probably be my favorite night until I see a better sky in future. July 7th, 2018, the night I'll never forget, I was in Nubra Valley. I was on vacation there. That was the first time in my life I saw an insanely clear sky. Unfortunately I couldn't travel with my telescope. I even saw something that resembled a meteorite at one point that night but I'm not sure because there was no news about it in the following days. Maybe it came super close to the ground but burned out before touching it. I'd give anything to have the sky as clear as that where I live, or maybe go live somewhere with a sky that beautiful. 😃😃

Living in the desert I see multiple ones every night. Usually just the quick streaks that last 1 - 2 secs. but every now and again you get one that's not on a sharp angle and the burn up is slower and very pronounced. Those last about 4 - 7 sec.

Yes, quite a few times, I love it. There is just something kind of magical about watching shooting stars! One of my husband and my favorite nights out, is to go four wheeling to a very remote location that ends up in the middle of a high meadow. We inflate the air bed in the back of the truck, zip the sleeping bags together and lay there watching the meteor showers (usually August). It's a cheap date, but it's just him and me together! We talk, we watch the shooting stars, sometimes we're just quiet, we're together! Romantical!!

I have not, and it honestly kinda pisses me off. I've seen Northern lights, but I haven't seen a fricking shooting star.

RoyTr · Answer

Yes I was in 2 meteor showers, on the first one I was at the beach with friends at night and we found out that there was a meteor shower that day, and the second one was about 2 months ago where my family and I actually went to a special event to observe the meteor shower, and there were also some telescopes with guides.

jess1204 · Answer

yup and it was the at the end of a perfect night too... my friends and i have a tradition where we all get together and have a bonfire party... i saw the shooting star while we were all around the fire, just talking and making s'mores!

aCollectionOfCells · Answer

Yes! More than a dozen in a single night! The news had said there would be a meteor shower so we went to the city’s outskirts to see them where there wouldn’t be any light pollution. Each time one would pass anyone who saw it would scream XD

ChocoLada · Answer

Depends on who was the Star shooting at? :P

keithfe · Answer

I was eighteen when I saw one when my sister and I were returning out of town to see Prince in Dallas Tx- 1988. It was the most beautiful thing I saw while she was driving. I wasn' t paying attention, until my sister stephanie mention about the shooting star.

BlueWalker · Answer

Yes, many, many times! They can happen any time of the year, but I've always found best time of year to see them most consistently is in September and October. 🙂

Goldenskies6 · Answer

Yes! 🤩😍 They are more visible in New Mexico on the mountains.  And also somewhere up north by Wyoming and South Dakota and also somewhere on Washington state in the western area 😀

Bubbles45 · Answer

Shooting stars are just space debris falling to Earth... Nothing special considering Earth gets hit by roughly a hundred tons of space debris everyday.
