Shooting Stars is a canvas-based animated background that recreates a calm night sky with softly twinkling static stars and occasional shooting stars streaking across the screen. Each shooting star appears at random intervals, angles, and colors, creating a natural and immersive atmosphere.
You can control the frequency and speed of shooting stars, customize multiple shooting star colors, adjust the number of static stars, and fine-tune the overall pacing of the animation. The component is lightweight, responsive, and automatically adapts to its container size.
Content can be layered above the animation without interference, making it ideal for hero sections, ambient backgrounds, and storytelling layouts that require subtle motion without distraction.
