Perseids - 2008

The annual Perseid meteor shower is once more upon us! The high point was this morning, but there are plenty to be found tonight if you find a nice dark spot to look up.

Did anyone look for shooting stars this weekend? Or are you planning to tonight or this coming weekend? And have you ever found one of these?

   Thanks for the reminder, Anne. One year the Geek and I got up in the middle of the night and sat in our driveway watching a meteor shower. It was so much fun.

   Ack! I forgot to go outside and look! Our skies have been perfectly clear - so it’s totally seeable. Gotta write myself a note …

   I’ve seen the cat meteor, but I haven’t been able to stay awake late enough to catch any shooting stars.

   Wow–I’m not sure we can see them where we are! Thanks for the reminder to check!

   Thanks for the heads up, but I think it might be hard to see them in NY because of all the lights in the city. I’m going to try anyway.
