Meteor showers create a spectacular light show for spectators to enjoy. Have you ever witnessed one in person?
No because of light pollution,this year I won't miss
Yeah, last summer. Me and some friends were laying on a blanket in a field. We stayed there for a few hours and on the next day we had to go to school. We were soo tired, but it was absolutely worth it :)
Yes, on several occasions. They are spectacular.
But I did miss directly seeing the one that lit up the sky for a large portion of Southern Michigan a few years ago. But I did marvel at the sudden daylight without a thunderstorm. 😉
Yes
Can I witness meteor shower from Bangladesh?
BRUH! I swear I learn more on TH-cam than I do in school... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Me two
Yes
Lol
@@austinha11 ur right 😑
Same here 😩
Beautiful video.
in the summertime I went with my friends in dark places to see shooting stars and it's wonderfull.
Pretty sad that we can't see clearly the sky because there is so much light pollution from our citys.
One day I will see this amazing show in the desert
So much more of a spectacular sight when away from city lights!
Beleive me, seeing stars in the desert is truly wonderful. Put that on your bucket list!
It really bothers that I cannot see stars every time I want to.
I live in the countryside but I’m too close to a town
Or in Antarctica
I look forward each year to the amazing and beautiful Perseid meteor shower. Look to the skies to keep grounded.
👍🏻
Beautiful
She’s got a beautiful voice, coupled with a beautiful video.

I just witnessed a giant metoer shower over SoCal so now I'm just binging meteor shower videos to figure out what the heck I just witnessed and how lucky i am
Such a dynamic view ah! I'm like whoa
Imagine you touch a peace of meteor and can see where it comes from..
And the shooting stars, they break my heart 💔
Beau ou belle!
1:03 that thing on the left side looks like a ufo object
Thnks for such information 👍👍
Before i could see this footage i kind of had a dream of meteor shower i mean a blue sky at night with full of stars i have a good recall to this dream 😃 it make feel scare and amazing 👏
Amazing
I wish i could watch like this in person! It's amazing..
We hope you get to see one in person someday!
Is there an explanation for the 1833 leonid meteor shower ?
i learn more from this than 8 entire years on school
WHEN IS THE NEXT METEOR SHOWER??????
Quick, take cover!
What if... every planet has life and a god like we do on Earth. And the devil is an evil villain trying to take us over 😳
Sometimes if I'm bored I just go to the rooftop and watch the stars and hoping for alien to come and invade us
Initially They'll Instantly Never Invade Because As We have a fear that in tech they are ahead of us, In that Manner only they may also"ll have the fear of being defeated from us!! 💗

The voice, music, visuals, and topic combined together is beautifully soothing. It really takes me back to when I'd lie down the roof and count and wish with every shooting star I see.
nice
Lies again? Melbourne Sydney Asia Story
Can y’all believe that we’re real and actually can see stars that are million miles away 💀 sometimes I just think about how tf were even living in this small world in the universe, think about how small we actually are too
because God created us and this beautiful universe .
that universe is finetuned for us to live .
@@bestryfulhd2102 dont you think the lack of understanding n limits of knowledge of how everything existed before big bang or why everythng is here in the first place is the answer we dont know all this
God is a manmade concept because of the lack of power or how insignificant we are compared to the vastness of the universe we say theres god and theres this great power? Arent those created to maintain order in humans by our ancestors?
@@whalefin1173 games world has a programmer ..
so this universe has laws made by a Creator ,, it cant just be their with out a cause .
god is just another word for creator. im doubtful that it was one single creator with a conciousness like ours but hey believe what you want to believe i guess
6350km in radius. very insignificant when youre looking at objects casually "floating" at 100's of miles per second lol
I saw them sometimes but they disappeared so fast that i couldn't tell if i really saw them or just my imagination
I saw them 4 times last one was yesterday
@@hrishikeshshete1850 sir mere city me toh aaj kal dikhte hi nahi.
What's shown in this video are airplanes flying over the night sky... *facepalm
And/or satellites.
Someone gets the memo...
Those aren’t no “shooting stars”...they just feed us with nonsense and we’re quick to believe it. 🤣
It is real... But they aren't star fall down from the sky, its just rock and dust in the space and that's we called meteoriod or we called them a shooting star.... I thought before that shooting star are very rare to see but there was a time when me and my friends hanging out in the middle of the sea at night because there is a floating cottage here in my place and I can't sleep that night so I decided to watch the sky full of stars and I was shock when I see a shooting star and it will drop every minute sometime they drop at the same time so I havn't sleep the whole night bc of that wonderful moment of my life
Yeah national geographic requested that all planes must be grounded whilst they film the sky because they didn’t want Sompn Brurl to be facepalming but the aviation authority said it’s not possible
I saw myself yesterday! In blink of eye it was gone! How wonderful it is to see something like this. Our world is so beautiful ❤️
The blink of an eye is correct - yet we’re supposed to belief that 50m tons of this stuff is “crashing into the Earth daily.”
Such hogwash.
Yeah yesterday I seen few 14 December is the day your most likely to see it it was for very short time and very beautiful
I love National Geographic😻👏👍❤💖
Most of what you see here is timelapse airliners passing by...not meteors...Why NG why not show actual meteors?
northernpike56 That makes two of us. I was wondering the exact same thing. 👍
Agreed. While the science content is lovely the illustrations are a bit misleading. Many many of those streaks were simply planes or satellites.
Can't agree with you more.I was surprised at how slow these meteors were traveling at first sight,then I realized that those were planes...It's a shame that NG is actually misleading many people.
But seriously,it's difficult to shoot time-lapse videos for meteor showers.They are just too fast,one meteor will only show up in one frame or so.
I think shooting stars are cover ups for government activities that they don't want us to know
@@prfinest07 really dude?? like shooting stars are actually real.
Who all are here, after looking at a shooting star for the first time in their life? I saw one yesterday and it was an inspiring moment.
meee, just seen one😭
Just saw one tonight and im fascinated
i haven't seen any 😩
Me and my friends went camping one night and that night it just so happened to be a meteor shower. It was so beautiful, I’d never seen shooting stars before. We all just laid on the ground and stared up at the sky for a couple hours in amazement.
me, just saw one yesterday
They are beautiful but also scary at the same time. Hopefully nothing large enough gets past the atmosphere. Thanks NG
For a brief moment, we'll know how the dinosaurs feel when that happens.. 😅😅
nothing will ever get past the solid firmament in fact asteroids Meteors and craters are not what we been educated to believe. read verse soloman 113. if the demons cant breach the firmament then no can a fake asteroid or meteors can either. craters are non active ancient geysers not asteroid impacts. all the the craters around the world are bowl shaped, asteroids are always depicted at a slated Trajectory not free falling straight down. if they fell at a slanted trajectory it would make a ditch. if you have fb look on Terry e. eitcher page for more info
I saw my first shooting star a few weeks ago. I was with this girl I go to college with out in the country side just looking at the stars. I saw a small one and freaked out. She didn’t believe me. Then literally 30 seconds later we saw a super bright one and both looked at eachother and just stared in ahhh. It was amazing
Proverbs 2:5 then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. Proverbs 2:6 For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. Proverbs 2:7 He holds victory in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,
ok
So basically yeah...Angels are getting rid of devils coming close to the Earth, I’m not saying it as a fantasy, it’s real, Subhan’Allah
soloman 113
who is here after observing live meteor showers and didn't get satisfied!
i
I’ve never seen meteor showers or shooting star so I want to see what it looks like
A couple of minutes ago I’ve just assisted a star shooting😍 Taking into consideration the fact that we’re on 17th of April, I believe they were the Lyrids as shown in the video. I counted 15 of them and also one managed to produce a bright light when falling because of the speed I guess. It was absolutely incredible.
Alex Paiu yes it’s the lyrids!!! Tonight they are peaking, just came back from watching them, so beautiful
I was on vacation in Austria during the last summer. At 10pm on the uppers places in Vienna, I've seen the gemids passing by. It was really exceptional.
Love from India...
I am so much interested in cosmology i watch every video related to planets,galaxy, universe,black hole etc...
Thanks National Geographic
T series
The reason why it happens is because the jinn ‘spirits’ try eavesdropping to see the news on what’s happening in earth, so God ‘Allah’ sends shooting stars at them
“˹Earlier˺ we tried to reach heaven ˹for news˺, only to find it filled with stern guards and shooting stars.
We used to take up positions there for eavesdropping, but whoever dares eavesdrop now will find a flare lying in wait for them.
Now, we have no clue whether evil is intended for those on earth, or their Lord intends for them what is right.’ Quran 72:7-10
Nice try science but you got your theory wrong
read soloman 113
I wish humanity (on this planet) could come together as one giant company and run as one. we are too focused on ourselves and not the infinity we are currently floating in.
I saw a meteorite a few minutes ago at 10:45 pm - on 30 July 2023 in Faisalabad, Pakistan. I am super excited after watching an element of the space ecosystem.
1:07 I just wish the real visible night sky is like that in real life.
It is if there is little light near you
Last year perseid meteor shower was awesome...memorable...I saw 11 meteors within 1 hr..hope for this year! Hope for clear sky..those are just awsome🔥🌠💫☄..
Yall, i’ve been waiting 8 years to see one and i just finally saw one for the first time, i wished on it😭 it took me a minute to wish bc I admired it LMAO
Anyone else think how strange it is about how hostile our universe can be yet we exist in a beautiful world
The best part about my Naval deployment was laying on the flight deck at balls-2am and just seeing and endless ocean In the sky. There really is nothing like a night sky when you don't have light pollution
Your thumbnail image is of plane and satellite trails smh
Omg you're here! I watch your videos religiously. And yes, I was wondering why the meteors looked a little off 😂 now I know.
I always watching the stars every single nights ❤ I'm really interested about stars and lights!!
How can people dislike this video? 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks for sharing this video. It's unfortunate how many Amazing things we miss or taken for granted.
I hope it,s early and hope there will be more later please
Later early please😿
I saw them once, when I was a kid. They were breath taking. So glad I had no idea what causes them at the time...my awe might have turned into horror.
It's stated in the Quran.
Indeed, We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment of stars. And as protection against every rebellious devil. [So] they may not listen to the exalted assembly [of angels] and are pelted from every side. Repelled; and for them is a constant punishment, Except one who snatches [some words] by theft, but they are pursued by a burning flame, piercing [in brightness].
Chapter 37 - Surah As Saffat
Verse 6-10
This is the reasonof shooting stars, which the creater of the heavens -Allah revealed in the Quran.
@@asmasiqq7344
nice!
they are repelled by the firmament.
demons are shooting stars, please read soloman 113.
Yesterday, I watch starry night sky at 3:00 - 4:00 PM and there's a meteor shower passing by,I was so amazed for my 14 years of existence like this is my first time to see the meteor showers,like I'm so happy that meteor shower would appear every night and I give a wishes to grant me luck and fortune,Thanks the creator of a universe to set this a beautiful scenery of a sky I'm feel so lukewarm when watching stars and universe,Thank You Lord 🙏 I hope to grant me a beautiful wishes
NatGeo - appreciate you and the challenged posed by illustrating this topic, but your quality control is really slipping - as others have noted in the comments, many, if not the vast majority of your night sky scenes allegedly depicting meteor showers are nothing more than long exposure sequences of aircraft - planes and helicopters (mostly planes), and satellites. Some even leave contrails and change direction! There are other more accurate resources available - especially to your esteemed organization (I grew up watching your documentaries on TV - they inspired me - I'm no hater), so I simply ask you reach higher next time.
I have seen this once. I can't remember the year (some night between 2014-16 ). At that time I thought that it's too many comets passing, but it looked like all the stars are moving in a high speed.
I love this video. Ham radio operators have devised a way to make communications via the trails of meteorites as they go through the ionosphere charging it for a very short time. It becomes just enough time to make contact with other people as far away as 1000 km.
I would love to use this video as part of a special show devoted to describing “meteor scatter Communications.”
I will of course credit National Geographic as well as this video in the description section of my video.
If there is any problem with me showing my ham radio audience this video, please let me know.
I don’t want to do anything that would be wrong here.
Thank you for a brilliant and short illustration about meteor showers and when they happen. This is so helpful for our scientific community.
Sincerely,

Meteor showers 22/4/2020. I'm in the country of Lithgow Australia
when sadness is coming to my mind,I go to my rooftoop and I see the sky as well as stars..I can try to count how many has stars in the sky
how many have you counted?
So I’m sure i saw one on my birthday last year (Dec 14) bc i was sitting outside for like 30 minutes and i saw 15 falling stars 😭 (yes i was counting)
I see shooting stars but no trials (i hope it is a shooting star ) and i realy want to know the place where you can see a lot of shooting stars
You can see it in ur place as long as the weather is clear
Thank you for teaching me something that I didn’t know! I always thought they were Stars ⭐️
They are stars, don't get faked out
All meteors go down towards the horizon or go horizontal. Show me one that goes up. This is another proof that we live on stationary flat plane.
There is no one that goes up because they will not fall if they goes up bc there is no gravity above
@@savagequeen599 it seems like you don't know much about the globe Earth model. Gravity is not real. Even if it was real the moon or sun's gravity should have pulled the meteors
nope......my point is that earth and outer space are different. And how can u see star that goes up, like, hello were on earth. Were talking about star not earth. And also you said that gravity doesn't exist...how? why? are u floating in ur place? All massive objects attracts each other by gravity, and this also allows Newton to explain the movement of the celestial bodies. Newton's theory on gravity works extraordinarily well, so you may well think that, yes, gravity must exist.
now finally i found a clear explaination about meteor shower. thanks NG.
Where THE meteorites fall because space does not EXIST LOL
About 18 months ago, my family and I were talking, standing roughly 100 ft from some RR tracks. Then a meteor hit, right about where the tracks were.
We didn’t hear anything at all. We were so mesmerized by the bright flames.
Once it landed, it was like it hadn’t happened. It was so quick and there wasn’t any aftermath as far as the eye could see. I will never forget that day.
Same... I witness too In our own eyes.. Sadly we didn't see the real formed bcoz of clouds above us.. But we witness how bright light scattered above then back to dark again maybe that star back to heaven w/O any trace nor sounds less than 0.3 sec.. it's just so mesmerized to witness that thing... Even me cnt explains of what I see.
it was a demon.
read soloman 113
I hope nat geo continues to make videos about the night sky and the stars cause it's very serene and mesmerizing..😊🌌🌃
Lots of excellent imagery of planes flying over!
I saw one just about 15min ago, such a beautiful and interesting thing it is, it was so quick I'm glad I saw it.
I saw mine 20 mins ago, it was so so beautiful
And We have placed within the heaven great stars and have beautified it for the observers.
(QS: Al Hijr 16)
You've got to be joking. All those time lapses, and you people believe those are shooting stars? Those are planes. THINK about it. Normally when a plane traverses the sky, it takes a long while. They appear to be moving slowly across the sky. Shooting stars in real time zip by in less than a second. During a TIME LAPSE film, the shooting stars would hardly be noticeable because of how fast they appear and disappear. Planes/jets on the other hand appear to move much faster in a time lapse, such as what you see in this video. You can even see one of them change course at 1:25. At 2:14 you can even see one of those "shooting stars" leaving a chemtrail behind it! Also, when have you ever seen a shooting star go completely across the sky? If that happens it must be very rare. Every shooting star I've ever seen only appears for a brief moment and covers a mere fraction of the sky. The majority of lights seen in this video are aircraft.
Yesterday I have seen the star falling down ....😘
I saw a shooting star yesterday and it's super duper amazing that's why I'm here. Such an unforgettable experience.
Same here, I saw one today
@@danielepluribus6600 it's a wonderful creation tho
Bro exactly....today may 28...i saw a shooting star...it is really amazing 😱✨💫💕...may 28 2022
i just spent 3 hours laying down watching the sky i've seen some great meteors and that's just a miracle
I just spent the whole night
There’s a meteor shower tonight but I’m too lazy so I’m watching this instead of going ourside
In Quran Allah says in (Surah al-Mulk)
5. “And We have beautified the lower heaven with lanterns, and We made them missiles against the devils(stoning), and We have prepared for them the suffering of the Blaze.”
Meteors were mentioned in Quran as a stone for stoning the Devil.
And another thing was mentioned in(Al-Rahman)
“(0 genera of Jinns(devils) and mankind, If you are able to penetrate beyond the realms of the heavens and the earth, then penetrate. You cannot penetrate except with an authority....55:33).
So this means that our sky is protected by missiles to prevent evil and mankind to escape from earth and the sky was also mentioned in the Quran as the “Guarded overheads” aka the atmosphere envelope that protect earth from the heat waves of the sun.
Notice: the nearest heaven is our sky and space according to the other verses of the Quran
So anyone still believing that Nasa landed on the Moon is completely wrong only their space ships can go.

only real meteor at 2:19 left part of the screen ( with tail ) everything else is planes or satellites.

When and where are these valuable rocks are found the discoveries of them can help find answers cures for Earth ailments stars are angels coming to our aid
Yup.. Probably the meteor is not the meteor that other think but more Angel of travel nor fight.. Idk coz I witness that in my own eyes.. A Very bright light scattered above the clouds above us then instantly gone.. and I'dnt think it's a debris bcoz theirs no sound even the lapse of speed is very quick and instantly gone like went up again frm above...
