National Meteor Watch Day, on June 30th, is a fun time when people look at the night sky to see meteors, often called shooting stars. These bright streaks of light happen when small space rocks, called meteoroids, enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up. It's like watching a light show in the sky! People gather with family and friends to find a dark spot outside, away from city lights, and look up to catch a glimpse of these magical flashes. It's a special day to enjoy the wonders of space and feel connected to the universe.
How to celebrate National Meteor Watch Day?
Gather some friends or family and find a comfy spot outside where the sky is clear. Bring blankets or chairs to lie down and relax. Pack some snacks and water too. As it gets dark, look up at the night sky. Try to spot shooting stars or meteors. You can keep count and make a game out of it. Use a star map app on a phone to learn about constellations and planets too. If you have binoculars, use them for a closer look. Remember to dress warmly as nights can get chilly. Enjoy the beauty of the starry night!
