Fighting the Current

nightlights

Woke up last night at 4 o'clock. Stayed up until 5:45 -- when the horizon started to get an orange glow from the sun. The meteor shower was incredible. We must've seen hundreds, including one that left a visible dust trail for who knows how long, and several dim clusters that seemed to be moving slower directly overhead. They looked like they were just skimming the atmosphere. Oh, and a correction. It won't not be seen as well for twenty years. It won't be seen as well until the year 2099. Definitely could see it better than when I tried to look for the aurora....

I have homework to do now... Maybe I shouldn't have slept until noon.
