A regular star is like the sun, only very far away.

A shooting star is not a star. It is a meteor entering the earth's atmosphere and burning up. This is the long light streak you may see briefly in the night sky.

There is no way to tell the difference between a shooting star and a comet until AFTER you've clicked on one. If you're lucky and it was a comet you will either get food or a solar suit item (boots, helmet, belt, pants, jacket). If it's a shooting star, the words shooting star will appear on your screen and all you will have done is wasted a turn.

Will your wish come true if you pointed at your shooting star?

Maybe it will, and maybe it won't. Whatever happens, it'll be the same as if there weren't any shooting star. There's no connection between shooting stars and wishes. By the way ... there's no such thing as "your" shooting star. A "shooting star" isn't a star at all. It's just a grain of sand or a stone that happened to run into the Earth. You never know when one will be seen, or where in the sky, and the same one is never seen again.
