Default Less shooting Stars??

I'm sad to say it's your eyes that a getting older, and polution might also
be some of the problem if you mean lightpolution

but where i live we can se quite a show every year with up to 100 or more
every hour
if there is no clouds (not polution), thats in november not august, in
august it's only from 5 - 40 every hour

that is excatly the same show as i can remember from my childhood

I don't think you need to go back 65 years in the states to find a
spectacular shooting star show, remember 2001 ?

When I was a kid I would go atop Powder Horn hill in chelsea Ma. and lay
on my back ain august as wath a great show of shooting stars. That was
over 65 years ago. my thoughts are that either the air is more
poluted,or space dust is less dense in this spacetime??
