Did anyone see anything?
I often see meteors or even space junk burning up when I am sat outside in the hot tub sky watching. I'd go as far as saying that I see something at least once a week - including some satellites reflecting the sun towards earth.

For those of us who live in the big city, satellite watching is often the easiest backyard naked eye astronomy. I have found a great site that lets you predict when and where things will be visible from your backyard, and have had a lot of fun with it.

Not just a bit overcast here for the meteor shower - raining again.
