More On Stars

I have been told there was a meteor shower last night. This explains something of what I saw this morning, but I still did not understand the flashes that I saw. This evening, London & I sat out on the porch swing & watched in hope of seeing some debris from the previous night's shower. London expressed concern over a meteor hitting the earth. (side-effect of too many sci-fi movies). My daddy was an engineer for NASA for many years, so I called & asked him about the odd flashes that I had seen. He described them to me before I could do so to him. He said they are when a meteor hits the atmosphere & burns up. I was able to turn to London & further allay his fears as, "even grandaddy says so." (God's timing never eases to amaze me!)
My day ended as it had begun...with a brilliant blue-white streak shooting across the autumnal, night sky ! London, too, had his first-ever shooting star sighting !! It's ALL good !!!
