Hey, I have not seen shooting stars before. I saw it last night around 11.55pm. It was very very pretty and really lovely. I stood at the balcony for about an hour, admiring the beauty of the dark clear sky with the glittering stars (at the same time, I think God for His amazing creation). Right before my eyes, I saw a shooting star, it's gone in a second. It was amazing. According to a article on the BBC website, there are about 80 shooting stars in an hour. I didn't see that many, I saw about 10 of them. It was really amazing. Some people are lucky, they see meteor showers. I think the sky has to be very very dark, where you can see more. I saw the stars in the 2nd picture, without the bright shooting star. I only saw the shooting star like the 1st picture.
According to the article on BBC website, the stars come on the 13th and will be visible for about 2 days. So I will stay up and watch again tonight. Too bad that it didn't come out on the camera. Find out more, go to http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/6940962.stm
