In what celestial event do stars appear to be flying in a straight line across the night sky?

Ah, isn't that a beautiful sight to see? You're describing a lovely meteor shower! When tiny space rocks enter our atmosphere, they burn up and leave behind a brilliant streak of light across the sky. It's like watching nature's own dazzling fireworks display sprinkle across the heavens. It's truly one of those little gifts from the universe that we can cherish and enjoy.
