We were at Perdernales Falls this past weekend and I stayed up to star gaze. In San Antonio, you just can't see the stars well at all. I saw several small shooting stars, but then there was one, on Friday night, it was a golden burst like a bottle rocket, with a tail. Do you think this could be that comet? I was surprised to see any shooting stars at all, but that big one caused me to stay up late again on Saturday. I'm still recovering from lack of sleep.
