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?
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
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!! 💗
@@SoloLevellor me too
Best life ever
This comment did not go as I thought it would
Same *Pinch*
BRUH! I swear I learn more on UA-cam than I do in school... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Me two
Yes
Lol
@@austinha11 ur right 😑
Same here 😩
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
The Universe is so beautiful and dangerous

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 love National Geographic😻👏👍❤💖
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.
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.
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
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
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 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
2:03 That was a beautiful quote
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
now finally i found a clear explaination about meteor shower. thanks NG.
I always watching the stars every single nights ❤ I'm really interested about stars and lights!!
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.
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🔥🌠💫☄..
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
Lots of excellent imagery of planes flying over!
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
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
I hope nat geo continues to make videos about the night sky and the stars cause it's very serene and mesmerizing..😊🌌🌃
Anyone else think how strange it is about how hostile our universe can be yet we exist in a beautiful world
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😿
She’s got a beautiful voice, coupled with a beautiful video.
The video was beautiful! 🔥🔥🔥
I look forward each year to the amazing and beautiful Perseid meteor shower. Look to the skies to keep grounded.
👍🏻
Beautiful
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
How can people dislike this video? 🤷🏻♂️
i saw a meteoroid yesterday , it was so beautiful and near to our planet.
i was captivated by that miracle of nature.
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
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?
2:14 those dust trails left by the meteorites!!!!
I just saw a shooting star 💫, it was so beautiful, I was in awe.
I always wait 4 these meteor shower's arrival every month 😇😇
The Narrator(angeli) voice is awesome😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Hai i from indonesian. I love national geographic
hi i am from Pakistan
So
@@lakshyachaudhary6986 lol🤣
I'm from Australia
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
So beautiful.
I want to live in, like these places ..
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
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 saw myself yesterday. It was wonderful to see something like this..Love from india
Learned a lot thank you
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,
Larry

0:55 those streaks are airliner trails.
Meteor showers 22/4/2020. I'm in the country of Lithgow Australia
Recently went to big bear and the stars out there were beautiful!
2:10
Okay, that was adorable.
Great, makes a little bit anxious ;-)
I always watch sky full of starts and this give me hope to make my dream come true.
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
This would definitely be part of a great date night. 😎
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

Cuz I just saw a shooting star from the islands soooo beautiful. God is a Wonder💖
i love the narrator
Its wonderful to see how it works so spectacularly..
I think I have a healthy obsession with watching documentaries from this channel hahaha
Angles are attacking the Jins who are trying to steal knowledge

Narrator: Displays a spectacular light show.
Random meteor: ChAlLeNgE AcCePtEd!!!
Beautiful World.
Sometimes I just sit down sometimes I just lay there but I am never asleep
Yours Truly Gold One
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
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
I saw A shooting star Today✨🌠 indeed a moment to remember and cherish forever☄️✨🌠
I love Nat Geo
I love watching meteor showers in dark skies.
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.
Just thank God they're not larger😮
I have never seen shooting stars before. I wish I can see it someday...
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.
Yesterday I have seen the star falling down ....😘
And We have placed within the heaven great stars and have beautified it for the observers.
(QS: Al Hijr 16)
its lit *in travis scott voice*
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
Went camping this weekend and I’m not sure what I saw , the sky seemed to open up and a blue/ purple light went from one end to another like a portal but it wasn’t a long line like in videos online
Got to see the lyrids tonight during its peak. It’s nice to have something so peaceful and beautiful during such crazy times. Space is so wonderful
Everyone : Oh, shooting star 🌟 Wish?
Me : Please make me forget this 0:01 fact
These meteors are more often than I thought
read soloman 113
Her voice is so relaxing.
Where THE meteorites fall because space does not EXIST LOL
The thing that i found this video by searching for shooting stars makes me laugh so bad
Is it not the intense pressure that superheats the air? Not friction...
They are our favourite things in space........
I wanna see it too!
But in my place we cannot even see Sirius because of the clouds ;-;
If there's a astronomical event, weather is always a bad mood
Xoxad
I see the Perseids shower every year at my uncles cabin in the middle of the woods it’s so cool
There’s a meteor shower tonight but I’m too lazy so I’m watching this instead of going ourside
Such a dynamic view ah! I'm like whoa
I saw one this morning 3am & so much happy witnessing d glorious creation of God even if its just so quick like a blink of an eye🥰
