Meteors are streaks of dazzling light that one sees in the night sky. Often called &#39;shooting stars&#39;, meteors are space rocks that enter Earth&#39;s atmosphere at very high speeds. As the space rock falls toward Earth, the resistance&mdash;or drag&mdash;of the air on the rock makes it extremely hot. What we see is a &quot;shooting star.&quot; That bright streak is not actually the rock, but rather the glowing hot air as the hot rock zips through the atmosphere.</p>

Taking photographs of a meteor shower can be an exercise in patience and requires a lot of luck as meteors streak across the sky quickly and unannounced,</p>
