The Leonids

I am a sky watcher.  I am not a student of astronomy, I just love the beauty of the heavens.  I oooh and  ahhh at the awesome wonder of it all.  So, needless to say, I am a big fan of meteor showers.  I have been known to get up at 1:00 am and drive several miles to find the best viewing spots.  I have put a mattress on the ground and spent several hours enthralled by the show; although sometimes disappointed because of overcast or scant numbers of the streaking meteors, I continue to be a big fan.

Although the peak show for the Leonid’s was last night, I hope you can catch a glimpse of the magic in the sky.
