Perseids Meteor Shower

We went camping this weekend. We sat up late and watched the meteor shower. It was SO neat. I don't know if i've ever seen so many shooting stars. My Dad is really into that kind of stuff and has a really nice telescope. We are able to see the rings around Saturn. And the moons around Jupitor. Its so amazing what is out in the universe that we don't even know about. We always point out some of the constilations and view the planets when we are away from the city. The stars are so much brighter out in the wilderness, then in the city. Its such a beautiful sight.
