Annual Meteor Shower

[fmcasey]

Last night (the 11th) was the annual Perseids meteor shower. I look forward to this event every year, even when the shows are not so spectacular.

Central Oregon was covered in clouds last night so there was no show. :wallbash: How often is Central Oregon socked in with clouds during the summer? Not very often. Of all the nights…

Oh well, there’s always next year.

I think you'll find tonight is actually quite a good night too (better than last in the UK)
anyways I got a clear sky last night to see it, but annoyingly it's cloudy tonight.

We've got more clouds again today but maybe they'll clear up by tonight. I should have posted a link for the meteor shower guide:

Eh, it's Central Oregon, you know how it works here. Hell, this year was the first year it rained during the Flashback Cruz :/

It was pretty wicked, I watched it for a few hours last night in the back of my truck and fell asleep to it.

I wanted to watch it, but there's way too many trees around here. Plus it was overcast, and kind of close to a major city with lots of lights.
