"On June 30th, National Meteor Watch Day encourages us to look to the stars to witness one of the night skyβs most thrilling sights. Also known as National Meteor Day, on a cloudless night, people turn their eyes to the heavens in hopes of spotting the glow of a falling star. Daily millions of meteors enter the Earthβs atmosphere.
National Meteor Watch Day β A Learning Opportunity When space debris, such as pieces of rock, enter the Earthβs atmosphere the friction causes the surrounding air to become scorching hot. This βshooting starβ streaking through the sky surrounded by flaming hot air is a meteor. The majority of the meteoroids that cause meteors are only the size of a pebble. A list of meteor shower dates, as well as a guide to successful watching, can be found on the EarthSky website."
My notes: EarthSky is a great site that I visit regularly. When there are meteor showers, do you go out & watch them? I do as much as feasible. Always fascinating to me!

ZandraJoi, It might be called meteor, but I like "shooting star" better. It sounds more pleasing and yes, romantic:-) Do I make a wish when I see a shooting star? Absolutely! Fact or fantasy...I believe in it. Has anyone actually made a wish and it came true?

"Social Media Day is observed annually on June 30th. In its short life, social media has redefined how people interact, communicate, and share with family, friends, and the world. With the launch of Friendster in 2002 and MySpace in 2003, social media became mainstream. Then 2004 brought the founding of the king of social media, Facebook. Twitter encouraged us to be succinct by posting our thoughts with fewer than 140 characters. When we express ourselves better through imagery, Instagram, and Flickr offer all the sharing we can handle. And speaking of video, YouTube is the social place for everything from how-to to pop culture to what not to do with your fireworks on the 4th of July."
My notes: There are a lot of us on Team Forum who don't care for Social Media. We may use it from time to time but forums are what we love the most. So which do you prefer? Forums or Social Media? If Social Media, what do you use it for?

Even as a forum owner myself, if I had to choose, I would probably go for social media over forums. I just use it too much to give it up.

Aww! lol What is it about social media that you find attractive? I know for some, it's busier & that can be a good thing. I have FaceBook but I'm not on it that often. I'm not on the computer much.

More content especially from random people which just helps you find things you might never have discovered before. It's great to have a mixture of content from friends/family and strangers too
