Saturday night I was watching in Wisconsin (in the middle of nowhere)and saw three meteors in ten minutes. It was so clear I could see the Milky Way and the Perseids following its path. I'm hoping the skies clear here tonight as there are still plenty of meteors to see even though it's past peak. Did you know there is a white star that orbits Sirius (the Dog Star) that has surface matter so dense that one teaspoon of it would weigh one-ton on Earth! Any how do they know that anyway?

Darn! <BR/><BR/>It was a tradition when my boys were younger that we would take blankets out and lay and watch the meterorites ... what a kick they got out of that. It was always around the time their school year started, but I bent the rules for this special time. <BR/><BR/>We're all overcast here too, so I'm out of luck too.Pat in east TNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11654095647835294718noreply@blogger.com
