Default Meteor shower -> TONIGHT!

Do any of you ever watch things like this? It's sort of awe inspiring to see a meteor shower, if you've never experienced it before. Supposed to have the best visibility between 1AM and dawn, hopefully.

That's funny that you mention this. I was at our new home and saw two in a matter of minutes apart.

Hm, it's already started? I'm not really into astronomy, but these things are friggin' impressive!

I saw my first shooting star only a few seconds after a car accident that, logically, I should have died in when I was 16 years old. We got out of the car, the two girls and I hug and make sure we're all alright, and look up at the same time.. Shooting star! Words can't describe how incredible that was!

I saw a handful, which was worth being up at the wee hours, but I was hoping to see a hundred.
