Hey, it’s just gettin’ started. :’) It’s really a matter of timing, and comets don’t shed uniformly during their transits. Some of the named annual showers in the mid-19th century were spectacular, and people awaited them, until one year they basically didn’t show up. There was barely a peep out of them until well into the 20th century. Thanks Jack Hydrazine, extra to APoD.

I saw one last night early but wasn't going to stay up all night.
BTW the ISS Earth viewer is sending back some great photos.

Cool! Do you have a link where we can watch it live?

We watched last night, and while it wasn’t ‘epic’, the event was fairly impressive.
