go outside and watch a spectacular site, the shooting stars have been incredible these last few nights!


Tonight we lay under the midnight sky.
Just as a shooting star catches my eye.
I'm making wishes that I want to come true.
My favorite one is being here with you.



The Perseids are here! I saw so many last night/early this morning from my deck already.
My niece thinks it's so cool that she gets a meteor shower for her birthday every year.

"Conditions are excellent for serious Perseid observing on the peak morning of August 12. Even though the Moon is a fat waxing gibbous, it is far to the south and will set early enough to allow several hours of observing before morning twilight brightens the sky. These are the prime hours for meteor observing--possibly the best of the year!
....because if the timing falls just right this is the year that will produce hourly Perseid counts of 100+ from my location on the West Coast of North America. 2004 was awesome; 2008 could be as well."

Thanks for the reminder!!!

Thanks for letting me know. I'll get my telescope ready

i havent seen stars in a while!

I live in Argentina....what shooting stars?

Guess I will have to walk those long 2 blocks to the Pacific and check them out this evening - thanks.......

I'll look for them, but haven't seen stars around here in a while.

so very cloudy here...
dont know if stars will b visible tonight

No telescope needed...just the naked eye

I have not seen such things, been raining

The peak is August 12th...but there are some happening now and for a few weeks after the peak, just go out and look up!

so worth taking a drive away from any light pollution if you have to...

just saw one....get outside and look up people....

make a wish

Went to the lake last night, laid out on a blanket and saw quite a few shooting stars, or meteors for those astronomy geeks...

Get outside, look up, it'll put your life right back into perspective!!
