The maximum of the meteor shower called The Perseids was last night and the night before.
Each year it peaks around 11-13 August, born by the dust trail of the comet Swift-Tuttle.
So, did you watch them?
Being during the week, I did not have the time to go out of town to enjoy it. Yet, I took my mat and got out on the meadow behind my block of flats to get my share of the shooting stars show.
I hope you also did it. If not, don't miss it next year. They will be back. :)
