A shower that lights up the sky

Common Wrong Answers
“Fireworks”
Fireworks are man-made displays that explode in the sky, but they are not natural phenomena like meteors.
“Lightning”
Lightning is a weather phenomenon that occurs during storms, but it doesn't fall from the sky like a meteor does.
“Shooting Star”
While 'shooting star' is a common term for a meteor, it's more of a colloquial expression than a scientific term; the riddle specifically refers to the actual meteor.
