No, we aren't hitting. Universal time as in 5 AM here, 5 AM there, 5 AM in Hawaii. In other words, the shower is coming in from a constellation. Constellations are fixed....from our standpoint anyway....and as the night moves through the cycle we see the constellation travel across the sky relative to the turn of the Earth in the opposite direction. So when you see Cassiopeia, for example, in the East I may be seeing it right overhead or slightly West. Therefore, if I see the Shower at 5 AM EST, you see it at 8 EST.

A QED on that issue would be Neeney. If she saw it at 5 AM it would be late enough EST for the daylight to wash it out.

On the scientific side of the conversation. We had seen Jupiter, if that is the planet that was visible. What we saw was a very bright "star" to the north <or was it to the East??> of Orion. Emily kept wondering what that "really bright star" was. She kept saying, I know it is not the North Star, but I don't know what it is." She found the brightness of it annoying, I am thinking mainly because she could not figure out what star it was. <why is it, when a conversation is going on, that I want to be part of, my family thinks I should be cooking?? Was making sure my family is fed in my job description?? Must have been the really fine print that I skimmed over>
