| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | From everything I know, this was after the nights that were supposed to be the best for seeing that particular meteor shower, but… I feel very lucky to have looked up when I did, and been able to catch this gorgeous event. I had been struggling with something in my personal life recently, and seeing this reminded me of the beauty of the universe - which is why I pulled over and documented it as well as I could that night because it felt deeply important to me. |
