From a quiet, non-light polluted spot, you might just see this. And then? Not much else.
A little late to the game, but I'd be remiss in not passing along the annual(?) Perseid Meteor Shower, now playing in a sky near you.
Always a grand spectacle, the Perseid Shower - soap and loofah not included - is best viewed between midnight and 5 a.m. in most portions of North America. Theoretically, last night was the primo date, but this evening should prove stellar (get it?) as well.
So get out the deck chairs, OFF!, and Nintendo DS for a long night of star gazing and cleaning up after yourselves.
Ain't nature grand?

It’s remarkable the number of times I’ve stayed/gotten up for this only to walk outside to a suddenly cloudy night, like the Truman Show directors are pulling the strings.
Hope springs eternal, though. A good shower is like … a good shower.

I didn’t stay up until the prime hours, but between 1-2:30 (EDT) after some pick-up hockey, we were treated to a fine show in the parking lot while enjoying a beverage or two.
Thanks for the heads’ up!

I was out last night too, no meteors were spotted. Jupiter is out in the SE sky, but without a telescope, it just looks like a bright star.

I saw nada and I sat outside for about an hour on Tuesday.
