back yard astronomy

Last night, after watching a movie, we spread a blanket in the back yard and watched the Perseid meteor shower for over an hour. At first it was disappointing because it was a little cloudy, but we waited, and saw several shoot by before we headed back inside. It was a cool way to complete the weekend.

  1. Sweet! We watched it here on the shores of Lake Superior and saw tons of shooting stars,too, and a handful of fireballs!!! I love being up here for the meteor showers, because we are so far from city light pollution! Miss you!

  2. How did you add your Twitter updates to your blog? Am wanting to do it myself, but I can not figure it out!
