Wishing on a star

I like my nature as wild as possible. I find it comforting. It puts things in perspective. On our overcrowded island wild nature is increasingly hard to find but one place you can still find it is the night sky.
    Every year around 11 August the Earth passes through an asteroid belt and there are more shooting stars than usual This year the moon is in a darkish phase at the time so its light won't spoil the view. So, next weekend if you can stay awake and if the sky is clear and if you live somewhere where you can see the stars, do have a look.
    And if you spot a shooting star, have a wish. It will come true.
