SHOOTING STAR


There are people who believe that if you see a shooting star, you make a wish and the wish will come true. For those who are not sure, a shooting star is actually a comet.
According to the news, there will be a big meteor shower where it will practically rain comets right about this time. This particular one is named Leonid meteor shower which is said to happen from 17 to 18 November this year.

Well information that I sourced from the Net said that time between 2:00 and 5:00 am on the morning of the 18th depending on the time zone is when Asia will experience the best of the Leonid shower, between 200-300 visible in an hour. I wonder if it can be seen here in Manjung. After this, I will go out and look at the skies. If I see a shooting star, I will make my wish.
