Meteor Shower… well kinda.
by chris cunningham
No photos of the Perseids but the Milky way was putting on a fine show with the lack of a moon. Thought I’d drive out to this rest stop I drive by on the Grapevine on my way to San Francisco. Only problem was I severely under estimated the distance for a thing I’m doing on a whim. Didn’t get home until around 2am because of that. The first meteor I saw was the biggest one of the night so I wasn’t disappointed. It streaked across about 11:45pm. Ooooooooooo…..
Did you know Hercules, even as a child, was so strong that after he was done squeezing milk from his mother Hera’s teet, it continued flowing and formed the Milky Way? Hard to believe! Damn steroids.
