	Notte di San Lorenzo, La (1982) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Plot Summary: The Night of San Lorenzo, the night of the shooting stars, is the night when dreams come true in Italian folklore...
		Night of the Shooting Stars pays homage to the tradition of neo-realism, but also includes surrealistic moments such as when the young girl sees the partisans as Greek warriors, while the Fascist who threatens her life falls dead, pierced by multiple spears.
		Though Night of the Shooting Stars suffers from overacting, its unique approach allows us to see war as a very personal experience with all of its sadness and cruelty.

	SPACE.com -- Meteor Showers and Shooting Stars: A Primer
		Shooting stars are mostly grit from space colliding at very high speed with air molecules high up in the sky.
		Many shooting stars are produced by grit no larger than a grain of sand.
		On a typical night a shooting star can be seen every 10 to 15 minutes, but on some nights of the year a spectacular "meteor shower" occurs and shooting stars can be seen every few minutes or less.

	The Night of the Shooting Stars (1982) - A Review by David Nusair
		The Night of the Shooting Stars is proof positive that it takes more than good intentions to craft a compelling film.
		The Night of the Shooting Stars is undeniably well made, but the Taviani brothers often neglect things like story and character development in favor of establishing mood.
		Sadly, there's nothing in the rest of The Night of the Shooting Stars that even remotely approaches the effective simplicity of that sequence; more often than not, we're left confused with what's actually going on (ie when Italian soldiers kill one of the villagers for no apparent reason).

	UFO Sighting Report June 17th & 20th 2004 : Lost Pines, Central Texas, USA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		On the June 17th at about 9:45 in the evening we we're watching shooting stars and satellites crossing the night skies, just like we always do when it is clear night.
		That was when we noticed they (the 3 stars or lights) were moving in unicent with one another, from North to South.
		The next nights we have seen almost directly overhead and to the South 20 degrees a very bright and stationary strobe like WHITE light very high almost in the distance of the satellites crossing, and it would flash about every 2-3 minute intervals in a stationary position.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Fiorile \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		Though Paolo and Vittorio Taviani's "Fiorile" is not quite up there with "The Night of the Shooting Stars," which made them a favorite of the international cinema set, their latest film makes for mildly diverting entertainment.
		And as they did with "Night of the Shooting Stars," the Tavianis are more interested in developing their characters than driving the story elements.
		Still, fans of "Night of the Shooting Stars" may be interested in a light entertainment with a similar low-key sensibility.

	Amazon.ca: The Night of the Shooting Stars: DVD: Paolo Taviani,Vittorio Taviani,Omero Antonutti,Claudio Bigagli,Massimo ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		With its subtle mixture of wartime hardship, comedic interludes, and a hallucinatory hint of Italian magic realism, The Night of the Shooting Stars was named the best film of 1982 by the prestigious National Society of Film Critics.
		(And never mind Cinema Paradiso, the movie of choice for those who drink cappuccinos after lunch.) The Night* of the Shooting Stars*, written and directed by Paolo and Vittorio Taviani, is a semi-autobiographical account of World War II shuddering to a close in the Tuscan countryside.
		Anyway, The Night* of the Shooting Stars* is a must-own masterwork, without flaw.

	Night sky overrun by shooting stars
		The best spot locally is the beach, astronomers say, where the Earth's rotation into the tiny dust particles, asteroids and debris of space will produce what are commonly known as shooting stars.
		The trail of a shooting star is created by the friction from meteoroids, which range in size from tiny dust specks to thousand-ton asteroids, entering the Earth's atmosphere.
		On a clear night, the Leonid meteor showers usually produce a shooting star every minute, and sometimes more.

	SPACE.com -- Shooting Stars! Viewer's Guide to the Perseid Meteor Shower
		Cosmic dust, some of which has been wafting through space since the American Civil War, is renewing a summer ritual by slamming into Earth's atmosphere, lighting up the night sky with shooting stars whose numbers are building to a peak on Aug. 12.
		Activity is slowly picking up in advance of the peak, when dozens of shooting stars will be visible each hour from dark skies.
		Also, up to 10 shooting stars not associated with the Perseids occur every hour of every night this time of year.

		Comets and Shooting Stars will be on display in the Beldam Gallery until 14 October, and is most definitely worth a visit.

	See a shooting star on 43 Things
		Last night, I was outside looking at the stars with my uncle.
		At one point, we were watching Orion when all of a sudden, a shooting star went by.
		He was leaving in five minutes, so I walked him outside and made a joke about how he couldn’t leave until I saw a shooting star for the first time.

	TV Review: Rock Star - Supernova Week 9, A Night of Shooting Stars @ Blogcritics.org
		This week's Rock Star: Supernova began loaded with drama and ended with a display of shooting stars the likes of which I haven't seen since the Leonid meteor shower of 2003.
		Star once again brought out the piano, this time it was not just an instrument to create music with – it became an object to enact with.
		Star – he stood vaingloriously proclaiming he would be bigger than they, and, without him, they stood no chance.

		When we reach the meadow of Ne Fosse (where the soldiers who died in the struggle between the troops of Napoleon Bonaparte and the Austrian troops were buried) and we abandon the lights of the surrounding towns, we will admire the shooting stars and listen to the nocturnal sounds of nature.
		The second appointment is with "La notte di San Lorenzo", a 8-hour long naturalistic itinerary by night for adults: waiting for the night, following the stars and the shiny moon to reach the highest peak of the Sibillini mountains and admire the dawn at 2476 m of height.

	USARP: Night of the Shooting Stars Review
		The album stars off slow and deliberate, in the best way, with "These Days Are Good for the Canadian Conservative Youth Party Alliance." Even with direction.
		The song goes on a good long while, so that when it's been running a while you say to yourself, "Is this still on?" Not a bad thing.
		For one, I made a fake documentary of me looking for shooting stars, and for the other I made a real "documentary" of me lying on my back with my girlfriend and a cam-corder, hoping to capture some streak or another.

	Arthur Ross Hall of Meteorites \| American Museum of Natural History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		These "shooting stars" are actually tiny grains of dust from space that burn up in Earth's atmosphere before reaching the ground.
		The vast majority of meteorites are pieces of asteroids, the small rocky bodies that orbit the Sun between Mars and Jupiter.
		And while meteorites are not from stars, they contain vital clues that help scientists understand how stars like our Sun formed and how planets, including Earth, took shape more than four billion years ago.

	Spirituality & Practice: Film Review: The Night of the Shooting Stars, directed by Paolo Taviani, Vittorio Taviani
		In the last analysis, neither religious faith, reason, nor rebellion help Rosanna survive "the night of the shooting stars." Her sense of wonder and a cock-eyed nursery rhyme get her through.
		For Galvano, grace comes in the blessing of an evening with a rich woman he has loved from afar since adolescence; for the other survivors, grace reaches them in the form of a cleansing and healing shower on the day they hear that the Allies have liberated Italy.
		The Night of the Shooting Stars is a meaningful humanistic meditation for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear its ennobling messages.
