I was just outside and saw 3 meteors streaking past Orion. If you're reading this in the northern hemisphere and the skies are clear, go outside and take a look. I googled it and low and behold, one of the best annual meteor showers is happening right now https://www.space.com/34373-orionid-meteor-shower-guide.html

Thank you! It's amazing. Nice clear New Mexico sky, too.

My pleasure! I'm not usually a stargazer but the conditions are pristine for an upstate New York city :). Makes me want to invest in a telescope

Goes outside and sees nothing but clouds

Oh right, I live in Washington, and it's October. Well, maybe I'll see something neat in June.

I share your disappointment. Also live in Washington and see nothing but clouds in the sky. Maybe next year! The smoke from the fires has been killing me lately, so I am also very thankful for this rain.

All I get at my house is the warm glow of a neon sky.

Saw a few from my front porch here in Central Wisconsin. Beautiful

I was outside for an hour last night and saw exactly one... I guess the luck isn't on my side.
