Really cool. My dad used to make me go around to teachers before a big meteor shower with documentation as to why this year's shower was "gonna be the big one" and me being out of school the next day should be an excused abcense.
That translates to at least ten summers of one night a year under the stars during a shower. Your story reminded me of a time when what must have been a school bus of space dust burned across the entire sky in front of our scout troop. Thanks Dad. Space is crazy.
- jhpankow 8y agoI wonder if it was the 1998 Leonids. I got about 25 people from my college dorm to drive to the beach that night. It was the night of the fireballs. Another great memory.
- KumarAseem 8y agoThat's a beautiful memory for me too! A lot of us gathered in the college ground and spent 1-2 hours watching the beautiful spectacle. I started to count, and then after sometime just gave up the counting. Never have got another chance after 1998 to see so many in one night.
