Default Perseid meteor shower

Once again we had overcast weather and I missed it again. This is the 3rd time I missed this great show from the space.

Bad luck sheprock... .. Yet thanks to these pictures I can see some of it.

Perseid meteor shower

The annual Perseid meteor shower peaked in the early hours of Aug. 12, providing a dazzling celestial light show for stargazers lucky enough to have dark skies and clear weather for the event.

For the first time ever, I got to see a shooting star with this meteor shower. I've looked and looked for many, many years but never seen one until Sat night/Sun Morn. Got to see a handful then.

Comet the 2009 shower was the first one I missed and have missed all sense. Due to our weather here in KS. But while living in IN., we saw most of them.

Plus I got a new site from the video. science.nasa.org which I will add to my space folder in my Favorites.

We had overcast skies all day and it at last rained last night into the morning when I woke up around 10 AM.

I forgot to eat after taking my meds. Be right back.
