If anyone is awake after 1:00 a.m. (any time zone), peek outside! You may see some beautiful meteor showers!

I''m setting my alarm for this

I saw the last one five years ago and it is sooooo worth missing sleep - especially if you have an inquisitive mind like mine

Yay! My SO sent me a link to the article at work today, I don''t know if I can stay up that late or persuade myself out of bed, but I''ll try! Should be very dark here in this little town by then so I bet it will be a great show! The skies are still somewhat clear here but we''re expecting rain tomorrow...I''ll have to check the radar/forecast and see if it''s worth it for me to stay awake!

Did anyone see anything? It was overcast and raining here most of the night...drat. I hope someone got to see something!

Something I read said it would be starting around 11, best results closer to 6am. I went out a little after 11 just out of curiosity. I had no idea exactly where to look and within a minute, I caught a nice bright orange one. Curious how frequent they were, I waited for a second. Eventually, I saw it out of the corner of my eye in a different area... then a very dim #3 and #4 and finally #5. I wanted to set up my camera on a tripod to catch some but I was just too tired for that.
