Meteor Shower TONIGHT! Aug. 12 after sundown.

I know this probably belongs in the sandbox but I thought more of you would see it if I posted it here. Happy star gazing.

Could you call the power company and have them turn the lights out in the plaza district. Thank you.

I'm a day late...Damn it lol
That's my life, lately

It's supposed to go on tonight and tomorrow night too.

I drove south towards Cleveland Mo. away from the city lights to watch. I've seen the Perseid Shower before, but wasn't anywear near as bright as last night.....also the crescent moon at sun set was outstanding. But then I've got this thing about the moon LOL

Perseids are my good luck charm for the year.

I laid a blanket on the hood of my car and chilled out with some bugspray and a couple of cold ones, about midnight I got sleepy and said screw it. LOL. I only saw a few meteors but it was nice to just lay back and look at the stars.

If I'm out between 2 and 4 any morning, I'd be seeing shooting stars if anything at all.

Actually, the Perseids "peak" the 12th and 13th, but you can continue to see them for several days afterward (and several days leading up to..). This year the show is supposed to be exceptional based on calculations by astronomers.

I'll be out tonight watching as well!
