Did anybody else catch the show?


This was the first meteor shower I've ever seen, I had no idea what I was missing!

Very Happy

I saw a couple of shooting stars at midnight. Very very quick and very small. What gets me is the different colours as they burn.

Fascinating stuff. Very Happy

It's done nothing but storm here in south Louisiana for weeks. So no, couldn't get anything out here. Sad

I missed this year (too stinkin hot to go outside lol) but I've seen multiple years in the past. One year I.T. and I had 900+ acres around us so we went to a field in the woods where there was almost no light and laid on the hood of the car and watched it for a while. It's a neat show
