I stayed up to watch the meteor shower,

[Unknown Beatle]

but all I saw was a couple of planes flying by in a starry night. Nary a meteor. Bummer.

1. Me too

2. Me, too.

Camelopardidn't.

3. I was out watching for about 30 minutes and saw two meteors.

Granted, it was less than ideal viewing conditions. But I've certainly seen better showers in the past. I heard someone say it would be 1000 an hour. I've seen showers at half that pace and last night, at least while I was viewing, wasn't even close to that estimate.

4. LOL at the pic.

My insomniac spouse vetted the situation for me. I sleep like a log, and only wanted to be disturbed if it was crazy awesome. Apparently, it was not.

[neverforget]

5. I was working but through the holes in the clouds, I saw the space station and another

satellite. But yeah, the meteor shower was only 5-10 per hour but it is a new one so there is that.

7. think I'd rather stay up for an eclipse

not the space station either. our forecaster loves mentioning that almost every clear night. and the mosquito's are awful. nope only on july 4th which we don't have anymore

[BarbaRosa]

6. Me too

I had a great unobstructed view of clouds.

8. Woke up, got out of bed. Found my way to the door, looking up, noticed it was cloudy ...

so I gave up.

9. I was disappointed about the comet

that was supposed to potentially blaze across half the sky last year, and ended up going poof.

[Warpy]

10. I was up until dawn

but we're socked in pretty solid here in the high desert. Points east are going to have a very interesting week, this storm is packing a punch.

[eppur_se_muova]

11. I saw a few high-altitude fireflies ...

but I wasn't fooled.

12. I was watching

for hours and saw one good streamer but it didn't go far or last long. Was definitely a meteor, but I only saw one. I did go in before I wanted to because there was a bear snooping around and I didn't want any trouble.

If it clears up later tonight, I will at least go and see if there's anything going on. there was s solar flare earlier today so there may be an aurora for some tomorrow...?
