Meteors

When you see a “shooting star”, you are not looking at a star… but a meteor, a tiny particle from space that burns up in the Earth’s atmosphere at crazy speeds, sometimes more than 70,000 km/h !

These grains of cosmic dust, often left behind by comets or asteroids, burn up in a fraction of a second, creating a magical luminous trail across the sky. Moreover, meteors can have different colours depending on their composition (they can be red, yellow/gold, orange-yellow, blue-green, violet, or white)!

And when several meteors fall at the same time, it becomes a shower of shooting stars, like the famous Perseids or the Geminids, true natural spectacles that connect us to the cosmos.

But behind their beauty lies a fascinating story: meteors are messengers from the early Solar System, pieces of rock and metal over 4 billion years old. By studying them, scientists are discovering how planets, and perhaps even life, formed.

Sticking on a meteor sticker is like taking a spark from the sky with you, a symbol of speed, wonder, and connection with the universe. Because deep down, every shooting star reminds us that we all come from stardust. Meteor stickers are waiting for you on our website!
