The “morning star” isn’t a star; it’s always a planet. And sometimes two Morning Stars appear at once, such as Mercury and Venus. The same idea applies to the “evening star”: You’re seeing a planet, and you may see more than one. “Shooting stars” and “falling stars” are misnomers, too. These “stars” are meteors — the flashes of light caused by small meteoroids falling through Earth’s atmosphere. Many of the “superstars” you see on television maybe just flashes in the pan, but they at least get 15 minutes of fame.
