Perseid Meteor Shower

Well, just on a long shot, I got up about 4am, and again about 5:45am, and
went outside to try to see any stragglers in the Perseid meteor shower.

Of course, visibility was something like being inside half a ping-pong ball.

The only thing really visible was the unblinking red eye of Mars, balefully
glaring down.

Maybe you got up early on the wrong day? I got up at 0400 California time
on August 12. My daughter and I sat in our hot tub under a relatively clear
sky and watched about a dozen meteors shooting across the sky. I saw
several a little after midnight on August 12, as well. It was a great
night! I'm sure the viewing was better elsewhere, but it was my daughter's
first meteor viewing; she loved it!
