see a meteor shower

The Draconids is the only other meteor shower this year that may be visible in this area, so I put it down on my calender. This one is supposed to be best seen in the earlier evening hours instead of after midnight, so that’s a help.

We had a two week period where it pretty much rained and stormed every single day. When it came time for the Perseids Meteor Shower, the sky was far too cloudy to see anything :(

sigh Second time in a row….... third time’s a charm…..?

We drove 30 minutes north of Atlanta to avoid the light pollution and settled in at a good spot in a state park, but clouds rolled in about 10:15 PM, and it was part of a front, so we went home. Saw stars but no meteor shower.

perseids tonight.
it was pretty cool stuff.

The Perseid meteor shower is coming through. Will get me unto a mountain if the weather is clear.

I was flying a night mission in the middle east at high altitude and saw a meteor shower while wearing my Night Vission Goggles. It was truly amazing.

are some of the coolest though can be a bit chilly outside

One of the coolest nights of my life was spent outside in the freezing cold watching a meteor shower with a friend. It was amazing, and truly something that I will always remember.

Finally this past summer…there was a fabulous meteor shower, the night was perfectly clear. I laid on my back in the yard and watched the stars fall. It was truly awesome.

A bright night sky here in California. I came out at about 2 am in a dark backyard. Don’t be in a bright area… you should see a lot of stars as much as possible to really see them falling.
