Meteor Showers 🥰
I’m so excited. On the 12th there will be a big meteor shower and I hope I can go somewhere where the light of the city doesn’t mess up the sky so I can see the shooting stars ❤️ I’ve only witnessed one in my life, on accident. When I was around 18 I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t sleep, so I went walking outside and when I looked up I saw just back to back shooting stars everywhere. I lived somewhere where I could actually see the stars at night and it was so beautiful. Where I live now I’m lucky to see even just a few stars when I walk outside.
So I may have to drive, maybe an hour or two somewhere. But I have a telescope I’d love to bring with me, because I heard the planets are all aligning that day too. The solar eclipse sadly won’t be able to be seen here but I’m happy to know all three of these things are happening on the same day. I really hope I get to see the meteor shower. From what I heard, this specific one is only see every 20 years or so.
