It looks like a streak of bright light, shooting across the sky at night.
Meteors happen when bits of rock, flying through space, burn up as they pass near the Earth.
This week, we all have a great chance to see a lot of shooting stars. The best way to review the show is to wake up early when it's still dark and go to an open park with a parent and some friends. Bundle up it may be cold. Bring a blanket to lie on, and watch the sky. If there aren't too many clouds, you might see a shooting star every minute.
