The clouds started moving in and probably blocked most of it. On the way back in the car, I think I saw 1 fly by. Tonight it is overcast. No chance to see anything here. Perhaps it will be better tomorrow. We need the rain though with our drought. I can't complain when we get any rain at all. James I went out last night, but I did not see anything.

I'm living in Japan at GMT +9, and I'm having a bear of a time figuring out if I'm going to be able to see this shower tonight. I'm 14 hours ahead of everyone in EST, any thoughts from you or anyone else on what my chances are? All the info I'm finding is for North American viewing. Many thanks in advance.

Hoping you have/had a spectacular, cosmic birthday, and also that you 'ace' all your finals.

Happy Birthday dear Pammie, Happy Birthday to you! :-D When you said: "While having my birthday and finals align themselves has been a fairly constant source of announce, having my Birthday and a meteor shower align is kind of cool." Did you mean "source of annoyance" instead of "announce"? I'm confused... Now -I- want a meteor shower for -MY- brithday! :lol: Rich I’ll second that:
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday dear Pammie,

:-D

Orion is also the first ever constellation I recognized despite my vision. It's a good thing that this shower is a worldwide shower, unlike Perseids. I’ve been anticipating this shower.
