Anyone watching the meteor shower?

The Perseids Meteor Shower.... I just came back from my back yard and I must have seen a little over half a dozen instances in around 15 minutes. Half of them were very bright and had a bright lighted trail. Pretty spectacular. ...Reminded me of how little I am in this tremendous universe.

It's peak is supposed to be tonight and tomorrow night, so if you miss it tonight you still catch it.

I watched it last year when I was up north during August, but around here the night-sky is sort of solid bluish-orange from all the light pollution.

I'd like to, but it looks like my area of NC is in for another fun filled night of thunder and lightning.

We had a cloudy night.

I would, but I don't think I can be outside at midnight - 5am, hehe.

 

[swords]

I work nights 4 pm - 4am and we're outside on the patio at every break and we haven't seen any meteors at all.

Are they supposed to be visible in just a certain area?

I looked up last night, didn't see anything

^LOL.
I saw some more last night. Most of them were concentrated towards the north-northeast.

Persids is my favorite meteor shower and it was CLOUDY here! I was heartbroken. Have to wait another year...
