We journeyed out to Lockhart State Park for two nights to see the Perseid showers.我们journeyed出来骆克国家公园两晚，看到perseid骤雨。 I thought we would have better luck out in the country than close to San Marcos where we live.我认为我们将有更好的运气，列在该国的比接近圣马科斯我们的生活。

However, I did not count on the city lights of Lockhart being so bright, nor did I consider that the airport would have a rotating search light shining up at the sky all night long.不过，我不指望对城市灯光的骆克正因如此光明，也没有我认为机场将有一个旋转搜索轻的光辉在天空所有夜长。 There were just enough clouds that when the light hit them, they glowed and blocked night vision except for directly overhead.有足够的云，当轻击中，他们将萤火虫和封锁夜视除了直接开销。

Despite the lights, we did see a great many Perseid meteors at about 4 am on Monday morning.尽管灯的，我们的确看到了大量perseid流星今晨约四时在周一上午。 Not as many as I would have liked, but they were beautiful.不是很多，正如我所希望的，但他们美丽的。 Streaking across the sky, sometimes two at once, we were “ooohing and aaahing” for hours. streaking整个天空，有时2时，我们被“ ooohing和aaahing ”为小时。

On Tuesday morning, the meteor count was less, but still amazing.对周二上午，流星计数少，但仍然惊人。 Mars was bright red and rose with the meteor shower.火星是鲜红的玫瑰和与座流星雨。 I was hoping for the meteor- a-minute that a dark sky would show, but it was not to be.我本来希望为流星一分钟，一个黑暗的天空将显示，但它并非如此。

Next time, I will just have to go west into the desert.下一次，我会只是去西到沙漠。
