I did see one meteor shoot across the eastern sky early Wednesday morning. I looked this morning, but didn't see any. The sky was clear too. I did get a good look at Mars. It sparkles with hues of red - very pretty!

Cool. Yeah I NEED to get out on outings more often, or to the country where I can see more. City lights certainly wash out some of the sights. Oh well.

Yep, grab a lawn chair, some good music and just lay back and watch the show.

What direction and when is the best time to see the meteors?

Oops, sorry but I don't check back on some postings very often. This was one of our annual shows, and it was from a NE kinda direction. Not to worry, more "showers" this Fall.
Keep looking up.

Time to crash for awhile, so I can be ready for the light show before dawn.
