Did anyone watch the meteor shower last night? I went out at 10:00 and saw a dozen shooting stars in less than a half-hour. Then I got too cold and went back inside. If I had known there would be so many that early I would have kept the kids up. But I was hearing it wouldn't peak until 3:00 AM, so I just assumed I wouldn't see any that early. It was a rare beautiful clear night, lots of stars out.
I did!!
Amazing stuff and like you said it was crystal clear and nature sure didn't disappoint!!
Nope. I didn't even know about it till this morning. :(Quote:

Try to see as much sky as possible: you'll see them out of your peripheral vision at first and then you'll know which direction to look.
Thanks! I'm surprised my husband didn't have us set up to look ... That's how I know he's been so preoccupied with work. He's my skyminder.Quote:

I've never seen any meteor shower in my life. But have heard about them. And usually they come
middle of the night and I am to tired to stay up.
I missed it........again :down:
