Meteor shower tonight!

I planned a camping trip based solely around this meteor shower. I'll watch from home tonight, head out in the AM, and watch tomorrow night from the forest :kickass:
 
I think now is a proper time to share some of my favorite relevant Gojira lyrics :)


In The Forest

I want to live in the forest
Between the roots and the branches I lay
On the moss I sit, I want to rest by the river

I want to live in the forest forever
The power of trees, I want to feel forever
Connection with life, animals, and stars

Between the roots and the branches I lay
Meditate the light wide open to the stars
Speak of the whales, deep in the oceans
Speak to the planets, deep universe

Fire is Everything

As I fight, trying to escape
Covering my soul
Watching the flames
I must understand this wizard
Fire is everything
It burns, I provoke, It's beyond
I feel, I create light

Hypnotizing power I can't resist
Reach out my hands, I feel the light
Increase flames, the heat is oppressive
Disturbs my brain, I want to dive in...

Enter now so deep the flames,
I respect the silence
Overcome with cold I pray
I see all the trees, the sky
the grass, the oceans
I embrace the world below
And I know now all the reasons
and all the countries
Fire begins and fire ends

Oh it burns, fire is all...

In the Wilderness

On my way
To the vision-come-true
I enter a galaxy rising
And I land on this
Brown and green old place
Whose wild is giant trees

Trees so strong
That they never can fall
Four suns alight
In silver grey sky
Wild river flows
With rage alive
Lions of fire approach me

Carved by the wind
And the fall of water
From the treetops
I can see the end of a time

Living respectful
Low your axe
And learn from the trees

Secound dawn
Meet the sylvanlings
Passageways into the deep
Invitations to explore the forest
Lions gales and chambers

A tree trunk
Larger than a mountain
Stands on the top
Of this hill
Made of rock and mist

Living respectful
Low your axe
And learn from the trees

Henceforth
I will be always there
Planet earth will overcome
Men destroyed
Scorned and killed their lives
But the world is on her way
 
Moon is unfortunately gibbous at the moment, so that's going to screw up the viewing a bit. I caught a really good view of them camping on a river in southern Missouri about 10 years ago. No light pollution for many many miles around.
 
Yeah sadly I don't care about this at all, I'd have to go outside and wait around to see it and I've got a lot of packing/setting shit up to do before I go to my apartment tomorrow. Instead I'll work as I watch Reno 911, last time I went outside to see something I was disappointed except the one time I saw a red moon (don't know the real name for whatever it is) and that was pretty sweet.
 
I only saw about 20-25 meteors....2 of which were HUGE!

It took a while to see anything, and I didn't wear glasses, of course.
At one point I demanded to see a shooting star amazing enough to make me believe in god...and if two meteors happened to cross, then I'd have to follow Christ for sure.
 
I fell asleep. I know im a weenie for not staying up and seeing them. Here, its really nice to be able to watch stuff like that since theres no pollution of any sort.
