A Stardust Seeded Pod...

truly...a unique "star finder"...

made especially for you by my artistic Muse.
Supposedly it is perfect for

viewing the big meteor shower this weekend.

According to msnbc.com:

"The Perseid meteor shower peak

occurs Saturday night through Monday night.

The best viewing conditions will be Saturday night,

with a forecast of clear skies.

According to space.com,

up to 100 "shooting stars" per hour

will be visible Saturday night.

Start looking after sunset, especially in the northeast sky.

The meteors are easier to see after 10 p.m.,

with ideal viewing between 3 a.m. and 5:30 a.m.,

which are the darkest hours before dawn.

Viewing away from city lights

will triple the number of meteors you can see...

Increasing your chances of seeing

100 per hour.

You can help NASA

by letting them know how many meteors you count,

and there's an app for that.

Download the free app, "Meteor Counter"

on your iPhone or Android.

It will guide you through the counting process,

and turn in your findings to NASA."

Personally...

I think I may just keep it simple

and merely gaze upward in awe...just like I do

almost every single night.

I will let Mother Nature take its course...

no apps needed...

and let her shower me with some soul filling

deep "ahhhs" and dreamy "mmmmms".

"For my part

I know nothing with any certainty,

but the sight of the stars

makes me dream."
