I pressed my nose against the glass sliding door and stood there for probably ten minutes. I thought to myself, "With my luck, I won't see any. I never get to see anything cool, it's always cloudy or best seen somewhere else. If I could just see one, I'd be grateful." Just a moment later, no joke, a bright light streaked across the space I was staring at. I was shocked, amazed, and ecstatic. It lasted for less than a second, but it made my whole night.

I ended up bundling in warm clothes and going outside to get a view of the whole sky in hopes of seeing more. I didn't see any, but standing out there with the entire night sky above me was pretty overwhelming for me. I live near a large city, so the view isn't littered with stars in the slightest, but there were many and even just that was breathtaking for me. I love the night sky. redface heart

Did you guys see any meteors?

Not often-It's really cloudy where I live for about 10 months out of the year.

But yes, the night sky has something about it that just...Let me put it this way; the closest I've ever been to having a "religious" experience was either when listening to music, or watching the night sky. It's just so humbling and spectacular...I just don't feel like I could ever encapsulate something so incredible, unknowable, and immense in my mind-Thus, something like God would always fall short of the glory of the universe to me.

There are just so many possibilities...There was a thread earlier that asked about things that give you hope, and I think space is one of them. There will always be more to study, more to experience, more to love...

For you consideration, if you've never seen it:

I woke up super early -- 1:45 am, but I was too sleepy to concentrate on anything, so I went back to sleep.

I want to kick myself. ><

I saw one a couple years ago. I was heading to the store to buy bear for dad, for like the 5th time, so you could tell I was starting to get thicked off. As I was jumping over the fence I noticed a streak of lighting flying through the sky, when I landed I stared in total awe into it until I lost sight of it on the horizon.
