Ooh, forgot the cool thing I saw during my holiday

Well, last week I saw a whole bunch of shooting stars...just came across [this picture](http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap040820.html) or the Perseid meteor shower which is what I was also watching. Looked very cool, especially since I was back at home where there's very little light pollution - I could also see the Milky Way and the Aurora in the same sky...
