In case you didn't know, there's supposed to be what astronomers are calling a "wild-card" meteor shower early in the morning. Could fizzle or be fantastic. Check out the links, sounds interesting.Quote:
"We expect the outburst to peak at 11:36 UT or 4:36 a.m. PDT +/- 20 minutes on Sept. 1st," says Jenniskens. "The whole event should last about 2 hours and be visible from California, Oregon, Hawaii and the eastern Pacific Ocean."
Did anyone see meteors during the eclipse? We saw lots, so I think it's worth setting the alarm & dragging the family out to the hills.
