I wasn't aware of a meteor shower? Thankfully there are clear skies here in Georgia!!!

Yes, the "Orionids"... guess they're the residue from the tail of Halley's comet. Any of you 30 somethings remember when it came through? I was like 7, I think. Roughly another 50 years to go before the next sighting.

Sweet! I get to enjoy a meteor shower without the annoyance of mosquitoes. It was a big problem when I was watching the Perseid meteor shower last year (too cloudy this year). It looks like I'll get a few more opportunities to view this one before Oct. 27. Thanks for reminding me. Sadly, the 21st is the peak. My parents might think I'm crazy but... *bundles up in warm clothing and sneaks outdoors*

No, it was too cloudy.
It wouldn't matter anyways, all the street lights wash out the stars around here. Damn light pollution.
