This is off of Yahoo.
This annual meteor shower is created when Earth passes through trails of comet debris left in space long ago by Halley's Comet. The "shooting star" develop when bits typically no larger than a pea, and mostly sand-grain-sized, vaporize in Earth's upper atmosphere. i wanted to pass it along. going to try to get mini up so she can watch it.

i never got to do those kinds of things as a kid...getting up in the middle of the night to see something really spectacular. granted she may not wanna get up but im going to try. anyway hope you can get a glimpse and enjoy it too! Eye-wink

Re: meteor shower tonight

Years ago there was a great meteor shower out here around 10-11pm, although I can't remember the exact name of it. We were all out by a lake partying it up when it happened, so we saw practiaclly one shooting star after another, for a good long time. I eventually ran out of wishes. Wink

This is a good area for seeing them, not soo many lights from surrounding buildings, like a city, so they're easily visible. Thanks for the heads-up, hopefully I'll be awake around 5am to take a look. Smile

More importantly, did any of them come true? Smile
