Sting-Ray x-ray

During this adventure, the almost-full moon set behind a distant mountain allowing Jupiter to usher in the core of the Milky Way for a captive audience. Moments before I saw one of the brightest and longest shooting stars I've ever seen in my life. I screamed out loud when I saw it! After a half hour of darkness, the sun started to rise and all the stars disappeared. Until next time, my friends! Thanks for another killer light show.
