Shooting star

Hi did anyone else see that shooting star tonight at around 10:30? I was right by downtown looking north, couldn’t believe my eyes. I made a wish though!

Probably from the Leonid meteor shower, which happens every November. November 17-18 is the peak. Origin is in the eastern sky but they'll be visible over the entire sky. https://news.yahoo.com/november-meteor-shower-could-spectacular-175253377.html

It's a gottdang bummer. For numerous reasons, but also stargazing - I'm moving to Greenville. Not too far away, but I'll even be south of the town a ways. Can't see squat any more from Lake Highlands, in the midst of the city, even on a moonless, dry summer night. It's been maybe a year since I've seen a meteor.

Yes!!! I saw it too. I think it was a meteor though, it was pretty big.
