Meteors!
 
Anyone else watching the meteors tonight? I haven't seen a lot of them, but the sky is just crystal clear and the ones I have seen are so pretty and bright!

I saw about 8 - 10 meteors during the 45 minutes I was out watching.

I decided it was WAY too cold here last night. I was cuddled under the electric blanket with a good book and my BFF pillow by 9:30pm.:)

My viewing time was best from 10pm-2am, so I was able to stay up late enough for a good show on Thursday night. Just over 1 per minute but I didn't see any fireballs. I did notice that they all seemed to be travelling east to west.

I heard that the meteors were the result of a comets tail coming too close to the earth orbit and the earths orbid sucked them in. NASA says there are 4 blood moons btwn April 2014 and Sept.2015. Interesting! Usually the meteors are from the fringes of the Asteroid belt at the Equanox es?
