We journeyed out to Lockhart State Park for two nights to see the Perseid showers.我們journeyed出來駱克國家公園兩晚，看到perseid驟雨。 I thought we would have better luck out in the country than close to San Marcos where we live.我認為我們將有更好的運氣，列在該國的比接近聖馬科斯我們的生活。

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.不過，我不指望對城市燈光的駱克正因如此光明，也沒有我認為機場將有一個旋轉搜索輕的光輝在天空所有夜長。 There were just enough clouds that when the light hit them, they glowed and blocked night vision except for directly overhead.有足夠的雲，當輕擊中，他們將螢火蟲，並封鎖夜視除了直接開銷。

Despite the lights, we did see a great many Perseid meteors at about 4 am on Monday morning.儘管燈的，我們的確看到了大量perseid流星今晨約四時在週一上午。 Not as many as I would have liked, but they were beautiful.不是很多，正如我所希望的，但他們美麗的。 Streaking across the sky, sometimes two at once, we were “ooohing and aaahing” for hours. streaking整個天空，有時2時，我們被“ ooohing和aaahing ”為小時。

On Tuesday morning, the meteor count was less, but still amazing.對週二上午，流星計數少，但仍然驚人。 Mars was bright red and rose with the meteor shower.火星是鮮紅的玫瑰和與座流星雨。 I was hoping for the meteor- a-minute that a dark sky would show, but it was not to be.我本來希望為流星一分鐘，一個黑暗的天空將顯示，但它並非如此。

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