Again, shooting stars that grant wishes are the result of human experiences and are not supported by science. However, while detecting a falling star is rarely simple, it doesn't harm to attempt if you ever get lucky enough to view one. Here's how you're "supposed" to wish upon a shooting star. First, you need a clear sky with no clouds in sight. Next, face the sky and make a wish - specifically, that it comes true. Finally, look for confirmation that you have been granted your wish. If you do see fireworks or other signs that your wish has been fulfilled, then you had better hurry! The truth is, we don't know how falling stars work. It's possible that they burn up in Earth's atmosphere before they can hit the ground so there would be no way to verify whether or not their wishes come true. What we do know is that sightings of falling stars date back as far as 1000 B.C. In fact, references to "falling stars" can be found in many ancient cultures across the world. These include references to them in the Bible (Job 9:18) and in Chinese mythology (The Classic of Mountains and Seas). In conclusion, yes, falling stars do come true. However, since we don't know how they work, it's impossible to say for sure if this particular one will. All we can do is hope for the best!
