Many years ago I was traveling across SD very late one night. The sky was clear and we talked to keep awake. At first we noticed a few falling stars and made no mention of it as we continued to talk. After a while we couldn't help notice that the falling stars didn't stop. We were enamoured with watching more and more stars fall. There were numerous times when all of a sudden all the stars would glow and then fall leaving trails of light behind. It was the most INCREDIBLE light show I have ever seen. It was the Persid meteor shower. It is something to see.

If you get the chance do check it out.

We are lucky to live in an area where the sky is clear at night to see all these wonderful things!

I remember the last time this occurred -- we took blankets and put in the bed of the pickup and just watched for hours. It is truly amazing!
