The Shooting Star (French: L'Étoile mystérieuse) is the tenth of The Adventures of Tintin, the series of comic albums written and illustrated by Belgian artist Hergé, featuring young reporter Tintin as the hero. Tintin sets off into the Arctic Ocean with an eccentric scientist on an international race to find an enormous meteorite that fell to the Earth.
The Shooting Star was first serialized in the newspaper Le Soir in black and white in 1941, and in 1942 was the first of the comic albums to be subsequently published in colour.
