Oh darling, a shooting star with a tail in astronomy is a meteor! It's a chunk of space rock that's heating up and glowing as it enters Earth's atmosphere at high speeds. Scientists learn about the composition of these meteoroids by analyzing the elements in their tails. So next time you see one, make a wish and appreciate a little piece of outer space making its fiery entrance!

This is what is known as the shooting star.
