At least you didn't see a satellite go behind the moon! --- Patrick Wiggins <paw@trilobyte.net> wrote:
Was just out for my morning walk and caught a very bright Perseid out of the corner of my eye at 02:59. Weird thing is when I turned to look at where it had been there was what sure looked like solid cloud cover.
Wondering if it was possible that I could have seen a meteor pass *under* a cloud I waited for the sonic boom. No boom. One heck of an optical illusion, I guess.
BTW, that was only the third Perseid I'd seen during a number of trips outside. With cloud cover 50% or less I thought I'd see more.
Well, out to look for more.
