Yesterday night, I had a couple stargazing sessions of about thirty minutes each. Without being in a prime location, luckily, I saw ONE shooting star at about 3:43am. It came from Perseus and disappeared halfway in its direction to Taurus’ Aldebaran. Unlike the characteristic amber-tone of this shower, this meteor displayed a rather silverish trail.
Very few nights are as clear as yesterday was here in Seattle. I was in awe contemplating long-seen constellations. I even spotted super-bright-red Mars just above the Pleiads —or so I thought it was Mars. I miss so much my stargazing nights back home…
See more progress on: see the Perseid meteor shower
