Meteoric Showers

If you are one of those who love to watch sky at night you might be interested in dates when you´ll be able to see "falling stars" - meteoric showers. This is an event where a group of meteors are observed to radiate from one point in the sky. They appear every year in the same time as the comets pass by our Earth.
