There are many things that human hands cannot reproduce. It is times like this that brings out the perspective in life. We are humans, the most advanced beings on Earth, yet the Earth itself is so small that we get to see shooting "stars" the same size out there in the vast blackness of the sky. It's mind-boggling!
The article says it might be difficult for people in the Visayas and Mindanao to view this phenomenon because of the ITCZ. What the writer failed to mention was that it would also be difficult for people in Manila because of the thick smog constantly hovering over the nation's capital. Out here in the Bukids, the only time you won't be able to view the night sky is when it's raining. Even when it is overcast, one can still make out a couple or so stars through the clouds. Right now, it is overcast, but no rain.
If only I had a telescope.
