Last night was supposed to be the peak of this annual meteor shower. Unfortunately not even the new moon helped me. Cloud cover moved in from the north just before midnight and ruined the show. I only saw one meteor while I was outside. What a disappointment.
It is strange how I am still fascinated by something like this. I never lost the wonder of looking up at the sky and being amazed at the idea of those points of light being stars like our sun. Yes, technically there are different kinds of stars and some of the points of light are planets, but you get my meaning. Maybe I read too much science fiction as a kid. Or watched too much Star Trek, Buck Rogers, etc. I still think it would be cool to be able to see what's out there up close and personal. Hopefully for our descendants sake we will not be stupid enough to destroy this planet before they are able to figure out a way to reach the stars...
