I saw the coolest thing this morning...

Is good for cleaning out the eyes

(Note to Trumpers - it's actually not - don't use comet for cleaning your eyes)

I once saw one through the very small window of our front door. I just happened to be sitting in just the right position to see it from our living room, but the explosion caught my attention. The next day I read some news stories about others who had gotten a much better look at it.

As Comet NEOWISE fades away, stargazers will have a new astronomical event to look for in the final days of July -- a phenomenon that hasn't happened in nearly three months.
On the night of Tuesday, July 28, into the early morning hours of Wednesday, July 29, shooting stars will glisten in the night sky from not one, but two meteor showers: The southern Delta Aquarids and the Alpha Capricornids.

The last time that a moderate meteor shower put on a show in the night sky was the Eta Aquarid shower in early May, but clouds were an issue for many stargazers across North America.
Neither of the two showers this week are considered major, but together they will bring around 15 to 20 meteors per hour in dark areas away from light pollution.
The Alpha Capricornids is the weaker of the two meteor showers, but it could prove to be the one that is most intriguing.
"What is notable about this shower is the number of bright fireballs produced during its activity period," the American Meteor Society (AMS) explained.

western sky a huge meteor flamed across the sky. The light show was short but amazing. An unforgettable moment with nature.

Of course it had to be when traffic was heavy, and I had to pay more attention to the freeway than the meteor. It put on quite a show. I will never forget the image that's in my head. It was amazing.
