Did you see it? Did you?

Late last night... sometime around midnight, I was out on my 4th-story balcony chatting with a neighbor when a shooting star cascaded through the night... lasting a few seconds (an eternity for these ephemeral beauties), I watched as it burst: 1, 2, 3 times.

Absolutely amazing.

I hope you saw it, too.

Earth Punctured by Tiny Cosmic Missiles

Dang.

Fascinating.

I wonder if they attempted to get a trajectory for the two particles... and if they shared similar ones?
