I don't know about you, but i set my alarm for 4:00 a.m. to see one of the biggest meteor showers for the year. It was very cool, and being a big fan of astronomy, I thought it was very neat. It was also my first meteor shower, and just wanted to tell. I saw 2 fireballs, which are so bright, that if you turn away from them, and stand in the opposite direction, you can see them. They are very rare, but I saw two, which is very lucky for people. How many of you also watched it.?

Well, i think it only happened in the U.S. For a change, we get somthing, though if you live down south, you see every frikin eclispe that ever existed. It happened by the leo(I think) constilation. It was a very nice site. It happens every Nov, so don't dispare for those who missed it.

I don't know cuz i live in NY. It was great, but there are other meteor showers. It was just extremely rare to see this one in the U.S. It generally happens down south. The next one for the U.S. supposedly is 2099, i'll be long dead before that happens.

I saw the meteor shower down in NC. It was pretty good. I managed to actually spot a green and red fireball streak acrossed the sky. I stood outside for about an hour before my girlfriend made me go in because it was so cold. Anyway, it was rather spectacular. [img]smile.gif[/img]
