Ah~ . The Perseids. I knew about them even before knowing their name. My cousin told me about 5 years ago that every year, around the middle of August there is a meteor shower. Sometimes we'd watch it, sometimes not. Mainly because around that time each year there's also a wave of cold air, and the temperatures drop at night to around 10C (50F). Not exactly the kind of weather I like to spend time outside in, especially when all I have are T-shirts, shorts, and a few hoodies.Last year I also found out their name. And that made me even more excited to watch them.
So how could I say no to this item?
Truth is, I didn't literally "watch" a meteor shower, but I've seen around 20 shooting stars, so I'll just check it off. I saw them while talking to my friends outside at night, completely unintentional. Who would've known it was so easy? The other years I almost literally hunted them down.
They were so pretty~! :)
The one night I actually sat down and watched the sky, I only saw 2 shooting stars in one hour. In freezing cold. I just dropped it, and called it stargazing, since that's pretty much what I did. But I couldn't complain, since the sky in August is gorgeous. Bening in the countryside also helped, because there was less light pollution. I could never see the Milky Way back in the city.
There is something about stargazing ... should I call it magical? It makes you feel so little, but so at home. I never felt lost while looking at the sky.
Happy stargazing!
Alice :)
