It’s cloudy here tonight. Dang. I love looking at everything that’s up in the sky.

And it's always cloudy this time of year in Minnesota!

Same in Anchorage, Alaska, for almost any cool sky event. 🙄

Hey at least you get more of the northern lights!

Something is off about this. The Leonids do peak every 33 years, but the last peak was in 2001. I counted over 200 from my light polluted suburban backyard that year. Next peak should be 2034.

I hate that I live in too urban of a suburban place to see nearly all the stars. But I love seeing the posts from areas where they can see them and the light pollution is minimal.
