I saw a shooting star last night. I’ve seen meteor showers before but this was many times brighter, brighter than any star I’d seen, and it stayed visible a relatively long time, about 2 seconds. I was taking the trash out at the time, it stopped me in my tracks.
Wow, I don't think I have ever seen one before (I probably have seen a few when I was a kid but they are more likely to be airplanes). Don't forget about the solar eclipse in a few days!
