wishing upon a shooting star

Shuttle with water dump.  Copyright Clair Perry

Ever wished upon the shooting stars?
Some called it the lucky star... By lucky, it should be a good thing
Some called it the falling star... By falling, it should be a bad thing, unless it is falling in love...

One must not mistaken... Look carefully at the photo above...
Not all star with a long streak is the shooting slash lucky slash falling star...

It is called Constellation Urion.
It is actually a space shuttle executing a water dump for the whole wide world to see...
Yes, really bring 'Holy Shit' to a brand new level... simply an astronomical toilet flush...

Some say it was "pristine" water (the shuttle fuel cells' by-product is water) and other reports said it was "waste water and urine". No matter what, it was a large dump of 68kg, and we have Clair Perry to thank for sharing his images.

Wondering will those shit water hit earth? No, it won't.
Waste water usually freezes upon jettison into a cloud of tiny ice droplets, and when the sun hits, the ice sublimates directly into water vapor and disperses in space

So next time, when you are making a wish upon a 'shooting star', make sure you're not making a wish over that stellar shit water...

It's as silly as making a wish after you flush your you-know-what down that you-know-what
