so cool!
This was so intriguing, space seems unreal.
I love โค๏ธ science!!!
We can see stars clearly from where I live, and my mom saw a meteorite over the winter.
This was neat.
Iโve seen a few shooting stars and always wondered about how and why they shot through the sky.

I love when I see shooting stars!
I have loved everything about space and the night sky for my entire life. Thank you for sharing.
This is amazing!!!!
My family and I enjoy gazing at the night sky, both with our naked eyes and through my brother’s telescope. We often challenge each other to spot the most “shooting stars.” Some nights, we see plenty, while on others, the sightings are fewer.
This was cool to watch, and I know a LOT about minerals and stuff
How do we know when a meteorite shower is going to happen?
I enjoyed too. Thank you. -Brady 8th grade

That was a very good video.
This was really interesting!
๐ Wow! I love learning about science and stars they are so fascinating
I always see shooting stars but maybe they are just satellites. Anyways outer space is my favorite thing to learn about ever
I love learning about space(planets, stars, meteors, black holes etc…), for me its one of the most interesting topics there is to learn in science. I hope we someday find aliens too, I think it would be cool.
Amazing!!! It was so fun to learn with acellus!
this is cool

Wow the rocks look sooo cool
I like stars.
I like seeing shooting stars and so this is very interesting to me!
This was really interesting, I think this has sparked a new found interest in astronomy
Great video, I read that there are three different categories of meteorites.
i love shooting stars there so pretty and unique
It’s amazing how many stars and planets there that we haven’t discovered yet. Do you think there could be another species out there?
Do you know what meteorites are made of?

The universe is amazing!
Has anyone found new substances in a meteorite? Maybe even diamond or other metals like gold or silver but could there possibly be any materials that isn’t found on Earth inside the meteorite?
It is interesting to think of shooting stars as a part of science since it seems like they are portrayed as a thing of fantasy! Thank you for this informative science live!

What happens when a shooting star hits the ground?
I love space. what about you
Shooting stars are so amazing! I wonder what would happen when one hits the ground.
I loved the discussion on nuclear reactors and the submarines. My aunt went to the USNA and was invited to attend Nuclear Power School. She agrees about her fear of working around uranium but was confident in the safety of the reactor. Great lesson
I cannot wait to be an astrophysicist.
I liked learning about shooting stars.
how do stars form?
What actually happens when a shooting star hits the ground?
i really which i could go to space one day.
It was interesting how and why the nuclear reactors came into being the power for the submarines?
