    Hey yall,
    I saw this post. I am also a star gazer, and one website I would like to recommend watching to find out more things such as this is www.spaceweather.com
    You can subscribe to their email newsletter, which only come when there is something interesting going on "up there".

    Disadvantages: at the bottom of every email, they remind you about their pay-for phone-alert ("Aurora Alerts") service, not a hassle, however.

    I didn't get to see them here yet. Scientists believe it is still possible for high-altitude watchers to see the Northern Lights for the next day or two.

        I don't see how you could be confused if you read the thread from the beginning.  ??? The Aurora and meteoroids are two completely different things.

          Too cloudy for me to see the Aurora but going out in a while to look at the skys. Thursday is the best bet for the shower.

            Well I was outside for an hour and I saw 3 very bright meteoroid streaks. Very cool. Going into the big park tomorrow near where I live to see if I can get away from some of the light pollution. On Thu hopefully going into the hills around my city away from the bright lights when the shower will be at full strength.
            Will keep you posted on anything I see.
