To make the most of the event, be sure to check your island every day. New items and interactions can appear daily, so it's worth checking in regularly. And remember, time travel can be your friend here – if you miss out on something, you can always rewind your island's clock to catch up!

Shooting Stars and Wishes

One of the most exciting aspects of the cosmos event is the increased chance of seeing shooting stars. These celestial wonders can appear any time after 7 PM, so keep an eye on the sky. When you spot one, make a wish and hit the 'A' button to try and catch it. Catching a shooting star will grant you a special DIY recipe the next day!

Moon-Rocks and Meteor Showers

Another exciting aspect of the cosmos event is the appearance of moon-rocks and meteor showers. Moon-rocks can be found on the ground, usually in clusters, and can be hit with a shovel to collect. They're a great source of iron, which is essential for crafting many of the cosmos-themed items.
