I remember seeing Mars in the Missouri August sky 2 years ago and I couldn't take my eyes off it.
A year and a half ago, middle of November, there was to be a meteor shower at 4:30 am. I didn't give it a thought and went to bed, but at 4:25 I woke up suddenly, realized it was time, grabbed my coat and stood outside and watched(spouse rolled over, saw I was gone and cursed the computer thinking I was still on it LOL)
The meteor shower was amazing!!! Lunar eclipses, comets, it all holds me spellbound and just makes me realize how insignificant in the grand scheme of things I really am. That's a good thing, though...it puts all the day to day BS in true perspective and gives me more appreciation of the things in life we sometimes take for granted.
