Paragraph Editing

Edit the following paragraph for punctuation errors.

This activity contains 1 question.

A small rock careens into the earths’ atmosphere, catches fire, heats up enough to produce light, and is destroyed. Make a wish!! You’ve just seen a shooting star. Sometimes learning the pedestrian scientific explanation for what seems like an amazing phenomenon ruins the experience but, not this time. I still feel lucky when I see a shooting star, its the extreme brevity of the event that is always astonishing. Its gone before your brain can process what you've seen; long gone before you can tell your companion “Look”!!! The physical evidence disappears, however you know with complete certainty that you've seen something remarkable. An image permanently etched on the minds eye. Space debris bent on self destruction—An amazing phenomenon!!

To create paragraphs in your essay response, type <p> at the beginning of the paragraph, and </p> at the end.
