I sat outside for four or five hours over two nights and saw four or five meteors. Of course, I had fairly bright skies in the “western ‘burbs” of Chicago, so I wouldn’t have seen most of the tracks in this composite. I did see one that had a “bulb” to it, like the one near the middle of the APOD. It wouldn’t have been this same one, though, because we are “180 degrees out of phase” with China. It’s all very mind expanding.
