Once in a lifetime meteor shower tonight.

Could be hundreds of brilliant 'slow meteors' per hour.
Or not ,this is the first time earth will pass through this debris trail.

It was "or not" here in central Massachusetts: heavy overcast, so no chance to see the show whether it happened or not.

Heavy overcast in Nova Scotia too.

Well, I'm in the wrong hemisphere so I'm jealous as hell of people who did see it....

Anyone?

[sukumvit boy]

Well , you didn't miss much . Turned out to be pretty much a bust. Sorry.

Nice pic dderec123 .
Even though it turned out to be a bust it's always nice to take some time to reconnect with the night sky.
Plus it's a great stretch for the cervical spine , my neck hasn't felt this loose in months!
