Shooting Stars 

When you look at the night sky you can see many beautiful stars. If you are out in the country or camping in the mountains or the desert away from the city lights, you may see thousands of them. You may even be able to see part of the Milky Way. In a town or city, you can't see as many stars because the city lights create a glow in the sky hiding many of them.
