Making a wish upon a shooting star is a common belief.<\/a> However, can shooting stars make your wishes come true? <\/strong>Although there are no scientific proofs<\/strong>, many people have reported that it can happen<\/strong>. Furthermore, it’s quite hard to spot a shooting star, however, some people argue that if you do it right, the universe may grant you your wish.<\/strong> But, you may ask, how is it even possible? Do stars have an impact on us?<\/strong> We answer your questions in this post!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, What Are Shooting Stars?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Shooting stars are also known as” falling stars.” And, they are not stars at all.<\/strong> In fact, they are considered meteoroids<\/a><\/strong>. The amazing sky show of streaks of light you may see at night, is caused by tiny bits of dust and rock.<\/strong> Moreover, the event of meteor showers are quite frequent<\/strong>, although not always visible<\/strong>. They occur when the Earth passes through the trail of debris<\/a> left by a comet<\/a> as it  orbits<\/a> the Sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People Say That Their Wishes Did Come True<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Wether it’s the power of believing in it, or simply a result of the ”law of attraction,”<\/strong> many people say that it works. Actually, several cultures around the world believe in the power of the stars <\/strong>since ancient times, when they were used to explain all sorts of things. My personal experience<\/strong> with shooting stars, has also been positive.<\/strong> One night, I was admiring the night-sky at my hometown, and suddenly spotted a falling star. I, Unconsciously, made a wish that, at the time, seemed improbable to come true. <\/strong>However, few years later, it did<\/strong>. Additionally, I stumbled upon few comments online, of people claiming that their shooting star wishes did come true. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How To Make A Wish Upon A Shooting Star?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Again, shooting stars that make wishes come true is just the result of personal experiences, and is not backed by science.<\/strong> However, since spotting a falling star is not that easy, if you ever get lucky enough to see one, <\/strong>it doesn’t hurt to try it<\/strong>.<\/a> Here is how you are ”supposed” to make a wish upon a shooting star. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, the wish must be done quickly,<\/strong> and before the meteor disappears. You need to close your eyes <\/strong>to make your wish. Note that it must be something you truly believe in,<\/strong> and just a superficial desire. Most importantly, it must remain a secret<\/strong>, and you can not tell anyone about it until it comes true. (Sometimes it takes few years<\/strong>, like in my case.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
