Note: Shooting stars are small cosmical bodies which
encounter the earth in its annual revolution, and which
become visible by coming with planetary velocity into
the upper regions of the atmosphere. At certain
periods, as on the 13th of November and 10th of August,
they appear for a few hours in great numbers,
apparently diverging from some point in the heavens,
such displays being known as meteoric showers, or star
showers. These bodies, before encountering the earth,
were moving in orbits closely allied to the orbits of
comets. See
Leonids,
Perseids.
