4Real Forums: Perseid meteor shower tonight!

Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

More information here.

I've never seen this before, so I am excited to drive out into the cornfields and watch the show!

Darn! It's too cloudy here.

Enjoy it - they're awesome. I try to get outside and watch Leonids in November. It can be c-c-c-c-c-old, and no one else has braved it with me yet!

Blessings,

Oh, so that must be why there's a threat of rain!

I remember one year, it must have been the Leonid, as we had hot chocolate, and it was cold!

It was a weeknight, and we live in the suburbs on a busy street with LOTS of street lights and other lights.

So we all piled into the car at 5ish in the morning, and went to the golf course down the street, where it was darker. My sister came with us too.

She thinks we're a kooky family!

Anyway, we thought we'd be the only crazy people out there, but we WERE NOT! There were quite a few people! In fact, there was a man in his bathrobe there too! I wonder if he thought he was the only one with that idea too!

Thanks for the heads up. We tried to watch last year but only saw two or three. Would love to see a bunch of them!
