Meteor shower.

A meteor shower is a celestial event that occurs when Earth passes through the debris field left behind by a comet or asteroid.
As these rocky or icy objects orbit the sun, they leave behind a trail of dust and debris in their wake.
When the Earth crosses the path of this debris, the particles enter the Earth's atmosphere and burn up, creating bright streaks of light that we call meteors or shooting stars.
Meteor showers are named after the constellation from which the meteors appear to radiate.
For example, the famous Perseid meteor shower appears to radiate from the constellation Perseus.
These showers occur at regular intervals throughout the year, and some are more prolific than others.
To observe a meteor shower, find a dark location away from city lights and allow your eyes to adjust to the darkness for at least 20 minutes.
