It's the earth that goes around the sun. It's called the Heliocentric Model. Copernicus published it in 1540. Almost 500 years later, some people still haven't learned. It just tells us that we've got a long way to go as far as civilization goes.
Some people think that shooting stars are literally stars that speed across the sky.

Sometimes you have to step back, take a look at the big picture and see that most of our problems are not that big after all.
