The more Daxton listened to the other students in the class, the clearer it became that - though most everyone seemed to understand that shooting stars were not real stars - the majority of people in this room apparently thought that actual stars had some kind bearing on making wishes come true. That revelation was not so surprising, he supposed. Really, he expected nothing less from these... classmates, who all seemed incredibly determined to deny logic and fact.

While he waited for class to move on, Daxton turned his attention to his hands. Or, more specifically, drawing on them. Taking his pen, he worked on adorning his knuckles, fingers, and hands with skulls and crowns and tiny little birds, as a means to pass the time while he listened to Airey Flamsteed assure everyone that he was not discouraging wishes or dreams. Really, none of that was of any consequence to Daxton.

The next time he looked up, there were words on the board, and at once Daxton flipped open his notebook. Abandoning the artwork on his own hands for the time being, he got to work instead writing down a definition for each of the terms from memory.

SPOILER!!: Notebook

Once he was done, Daxton stopped, leaned back from his notebook to look things over, before quickly leaning over it and resting his arms over his writing to prevent any other students from snooping.

SPOILER!!: Notebook Astronomy Meteoroid A body of rock or raw metal that travels through outer space. If a meteoroid enters the Earth's atmosphere and begins the process of burning up, it ceases to be a meteoroid and becomes a meteor. Meteor The name of the phenomenon wherein a fragment of matter (usually a meteoroid or asteroid) from outer space enters the Earth's atmosphere and, at the high speeds it travels, begins to burn up and disintegrate, leaving what appears to be a trail of light in its wake. Meteorite A fragment of matter from outer space (usually a meteoroid or asteroid) that has entered the Earth's gravitational field, travelled through its atmosphere and survived the process or burning up, making it to the surface of the planet. Comet A celestial body made up of ice and dust that traverses outer space. Can be observed with a 'light tail' when it passes near the sun. Asteroid A rocky body orbiting the sun, technically classed as minor planets. Many reside in the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter, and have a regular orbit. It is possible for asteroids to hit Earth, as their orbits bring them close enough for a collision. Star Essentially a ball of burning gas, formed when a gaseous nebula collapses in on itself. Main 'ingredients' are hydrogen and helium. A star burns using nuclear fusion, and new elements are formed from stars, also during the process of nuclear fusion, when the existing elements are fused together; every existing element is or has been formed from the nuclear fusion in a star. Though stars appear from Earth to be at a fixed point in the sky, they too are moving (though not in the manner of a 'shooting star' (meteor)) as they orbit around the central point in their galaxy. Stars are also immense in size, though their size varies throughout their life cycle.
