  2. I'm still waiting to see the show. Very nice clear skies -- but still only 1 shooting star. The best info I can grok says tonight's Perseids window runs between 2 am and dawn.

    You seen anything?

    If you look Northeast, you're looking at the Radiant, the spot in the sky from which all the shooting stars will seem to spew.

    But if you turn to the Southwest, you see the same shooting stars fly over your head in a big fan of all whizzing directions.

    You won't believe this part -- but it's FREE!!!!!

  3. It was raining in Central Europe last night. Bugger that ! Usually does when VleeptronZ announces Free Astrononical Entertainment in The Skies.
