This is a free illustration of a meteor—a piece of cosmic dust burning brightly as it enters Earth’s atmosphere. Also known as a shooting star, this fiery trail is caused by tiny particles colliding with air at high speed, heating up and vaporizing mid-flight.
Most meteors originate from comets or asteroids shedding dust as they orbit the Sun. When Earth crosses their path, those particles descend into the atmosphere at high velocity, creating a streak of light visible from the ground. Though they vanish in an instant, meteor showers occur annually and are cherished skywatching events.
In Japan, it’s believed that making a wish upon a shooting star may grant your desire—a poetic view of these celestial phenomena.
