Celestial Light Show Visible in Greece!

Tonight the incredible celestial light show called the Leonid meteors will be visible in many parts of Greece. The light show began on the night of November 17th and will last into the following predawn skies on November 18th for many Greek cities.
Today the phenomenon of shooting stars such as a common meteor collides at high rates of speed into the earth’s atmosphere. Stars do not fall from the sky and neither do meteors.  The earth and the particles that create the meteor phenomenon are both moving in space and occasionally will run into each other. This will take effect tonight over Greece!
On Sunday another magnifiscent phenomenon will take place. A few hours before daylight on Sunday, November 21st, the moon will meet with the pleiades star cluster known as the  vesper star.  In Greek mythology Pleiades or the Seven Sisters are known as the daughters of Atlas and Pleione. In astronomy Pleiades, is an open star cluster which is the most obvious to the naked eye in the night sky. The cluster is illuminated by hot blue and extremely luminous stars that have formed within the last one-hundred- million years. The eight brightest stars among them are: Alcyone, Atlas, Electra, Maia, Merope, Taygeta, Pleione and Celaeno.
