| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I love watching the night sky through the seasons and finding the constellations, stars and if I happen to see a meteor shower it's an added plus! Last night, while on vacation, I was up late, and saw this incredible sight. This "shooting star" was one I had never seen in my life. I've seen some large ones, bright ones but never one moving a bit slower and with colors! I was so thrilled I ran and woke my husband! Of course I was so silly not to have gotten a photo (I usually have my camera right by my side always!) But was so amazed by the sight, that I just sat in awe. Thanks for letting me share and I hope others got to see it too! |
