The funny part was I was gazing at the “Seven Sisters”, which was visible from a patch of clear sky on a very cloudy night and mentally I was (i know this sounds stupid) saying sorry that I never spent much time gazing at them in all these 10years and then I went on saying things that I wished for, as lately (past few years) I have not been that lucky. I seriously didn’t expect to find one tonight, as I said I gave up on seeing one long ago. The best part was it appeared after I made a wish (or a set of wishes/prayers) that I make looking at the night sky. I hope you don’t mind, I feel like sharing this here, as I came by your site after right after seeing the star at around 11.55-11.59pm, Nov 6 2012 I saw my first shooting star, only tonight !!!! Surprisingly I saw it only after giving up my wish of seeing one all my life.

Have you ever wished upon a shooting star?
Aristophanes, a Greek playwrite, had a more fancy imagination.
The Greeks, however, fathomed shooting stars to be rising or falling human souls, while Jews and Christians believed them to be fallen angels or demons. Since the Gods are already looking at us at such a time, they tend to be more receptive to any wishes we make! It is believed to have originated in Europe, when Greek astronomer Ptolemy, around AD 127-151, wrote that the Gods occassionally, out of curiosity, even boredom, peer down at the earth from between the spheres, and stars sometimes slip out of this gap, becoming visible as shooting or falling stars. Legend has it that wishing upon a shooting star makes the wish come true. This holds especially at the time just before dawn, when we face the direction in which the Earth moves. The frequency of shooting stars increases at certain times of the year, when the Earth passes through a region particularly crowded with dust and rocks (Meteor shower). Apparently, on any given night, a shooting star should be visible every 10-15 minutes. These streaks of light are actually broken little pieces of rock and dust, which, when close to the Earth, enter its atmosphere at blinding speeds, and heat up, glow and burn down. None of us seemed to be able to trace the history behind shooting stars and wishing upon them, so I thought I owe this post to my blog.įor starters, shooting stars are misnomers.
I saw one last week, when I was out star-gazing with a couple of friends. Shooting stars make a spectacular sight in the night sky.
