Friday night at 9:00pm, I Selly R. went out to see the meteor shower. The night was in the low 80's and humid. The sky was mostly clear but there was high cloud clover that obscured some of the sky. I went out in my backyard, but I think that the area is too bright as there is a street light in front of my house. I did see two meteors and my dad saw two more, so four meteors in about an hour is pretty good considering all of the light pollution.
I also saw a dozen airplanes, a few sattelites, and Scorpio which was rising in the south. I went back in at 10:15 since I can't stand the masquitos and wanted some sleep. I might wake early and check if there is anything to see, but I doubt it because of the moon. I did not see the moon but I believe it had begun to rise because the paper said it will start to rise around 9:58. I will try again tomorrow night.
