Did you know that meteor showers are caused by debris from comets burning up in the Earth's atmosphere? These 'shooting stars' are actually tiny particles that create luminous trails as they enter our planet's air. The mesmerizing phenomenon occurs when the Earth passes through the debris left behind by comets during their orbits. So, when you see a meteor streak across the sky, you're witnessing a cosmic dance millions of years in the making.
Mark your calendars and set your alarms for the upcoming meteor shower events. Keep an eye out for the harvest moon, a supermoon that will grace the skies in 2024. With five supermoon sightings expected this year, get ready for a lunar spectacle like no other. Don't miss the chance to marvel at the wonders of the universe right from the heart of Singapore!
