Falling star

Years ago I was backpacking in Wyoming in the Shoshone mountains and one night I was high up in the mountains on a clearing and slept outside of my tent because it was so hot. It must have been a meteor shower or something because every few seconds I saw a falling star. Not to mention free from ambient light the sky was so dark it was the first time I saw so many stars and planets! This is my falling star. The color changes as it drops and begins to break up. The smallest one has a little aluminum foil in the crack so it sparkles. Like a lot of stuff I do, the stars can be rotated on the single nail they hang on so you can configure them any way you want.
