Falling stars

Very sleepy today, stayed up fo a while and saw three but meant to be over 80 passing an hour. Most magical thing. Last night was little tricky to see after midnight because of a bright moon thou best time is before dawn. Plenty of planes too, wondered about them flying in a sky full of small hurtling space rocks. Huge night sky filled with stars.
