Perseids

Don’t blink.

– gifts from the night sky

We have had a rather overcast and rainy summer so far, but remarkably the past few nights have been clear. This has allowed for amazing star-gazing, satellite gazing, and meteor showers! The Perseids have been at their peak, and I have been able to see shooting stars from my backyard (at a good pace – e.g., 2 or 3 over a space of just 15-20 minutes). They take your breath away.

Looking up at the night sky is always a gift. It’s so easy to do, and so rewarding, especially if you are fortunate enough to live in a region without too much light pollution.
