Volume 49 Let's go to see the meteor shower

It is said that on November 17, 2009, the Leonid meteor shower will have a peak of traffic, and the peak flow can reach hundreds of birds per hour. Since the news spread on the Internet, the whole school has been boiling, and everyone has made an appointment to stay up late to watch the meteor shower. Our dormitory is naturally no exception, among them, Lin Ye and Eric are the most energetic, and how romantic it is to go to see meteor showers with their girlfriends. Since it was expected to appear in the second half of the night, Lin Ye asked us to go to his house together and wait for that time. Although it was Sunday, after all, there was still class the next day, so I didn't plan to participate in this carnival, and the squad leader Da Biao also felt that it was not good to disturb people like this, and Lao Zhao was not interested in the meteor shower itself.

However, according to the wind received by Lin Ye and Eric, coupled with the confirmation that Da Biao's squad leader went to do it, the dormitory building was not closed on the night of the meteor shower...... It made me a little excited, but I still didn't say it. The happiest person is Eric, he doesn't need to worry about going to Lin Ye's house or going to the Internet cafΓ© to wait.

That night, we both went to bed early. After Eric and Wawa finished talking, our discussion about meteor showers began:

"Go to bed early and wake up to watch the meteor shower in a while!" Eric said with a yawn.

"Let's talk about it when we get up." I added.

"I'll make an alarm. We'll be there in a moment. "It seems that the squad leader Da Biao is also planning to go together.

"What's there to see about that thing!" Lao Zhao immediately said, "I still haven't listened to "Zhang Zhen Tells Ghost Stories". ”

"Hurry up and go to sleep, or you won't be able to get up in a while." Eric said.

"Well, sleep and sleep, I won't talk to you, Lao Zhao."

"Hey, I'll bet you two won't get up!"

"Hey, I'll rub it, then I won't sleep!"

"Then I bet you won't be able to get up tomorrow, and don't expect me to answer 'yes' for you then." Da Biao's squad leader and Lao Zhao were happy.

"Lin Ye said where he was waiting?" I asked.

"Playground, he said to text me then." Eric replied, "I'll call you in a moment, huh?" ”

"Hmm......" I replied softly and began to fall into deep thought.

When I was a child, I was always interested in astronomy, and I liked to look up at the big "spoon" at night. I remember the first time I saw a meteor in the 90s, when my family was still living in Laotaimen. In the summer evenings, the neighbors come out after bathing and changing clothes, and move a stool to sit together in the open space in the middle to chat and enjoy the shade. At that time, air conditioning was a rarity, the weather was not as extreme as it is now, and the heat island effect was not obvious.

It was still a cool evening, and the adults were chatting about all kinds of interesting stories, rumors, and their legendary experiences. My usual playmates weren't there, so I had to be a small listener. Still feeling a little bored sitting on the small bench, I started looking up again for the big spoon in the night sky. After satisfying the search for 7 stars, he began to look for the Orion Belt again. Suddenly, a bright red light streaked across the night sky, and I wanted to call the adults to watch it together, but it quickly disappeared. At that time, there was no way to check information, and the only way to get news was TV and newspapers, so I never knew what a meteor was, and I even thought it was a plane crash for a while. Later, I learned that what I saw was a rare "fire meteor". I don't know if I ran out of luck when I encountered that meteor, but since then I have rarely had the opportunity to see strange astronomical phenomena again, and every time it either rains or I happen to be out of the observation area. Now, there's another chance to see meteor showers, don't I really want to see them?

In the confusion of memories and thoughts, I fell asleep before I knew it. In the second half of the night, Eric's mobile phone woke me up first, and in a hazy state, the vibrating sound of Dabiao's mobile phone made me sober again. Eric Lisso got out of bed and got dressed, walked over to my bed and patted me, and I was completely awake. I motioned for him to go first, so as not to make Wawa wait. Eric went out, and Da Biao's squad leader also got out of bed. I was stunned for 5 seconds, and I got up very heartbroken, and followed the Dabiao squad leader downstairs, and I didn't forget to bring my camera before leaving. The meteor was fleeting, and I didn't have time to take a picture, but I was naΓ―ve.

As soon as we stepped out of the dormitory gate, we heard a cheer from the playground. We hurried to the playground, and the big biao squad leader ran as fast as he could, and I was soon left behind. When I came to the playground, I saw that the playground was full of people, everyone had lowered their heads and was taking a break. I looked up at the sky, just as a meteor was passing by. I wanted to quickly ask the squad leader to look up, but I couldn't see where he was in the vast sea of people. After looking for a while, he gave up, then looked up at the night sky again, and another meteor crossed by. I was very excited, but in order to show my habit of not being surprised, I tried to restrain my emotions and did not scream like everyone else. But it's hard to really suppress feelings, everything is self-deception, and the face is still grinning unconsciously.

I felt very lucky to be able to see two meteors at once, and I had to get up early for class the next day, so I was going to go back, and when I was leaving, I looked at the crowd, and I wanted to find Dabiao's squad leader again, and I gave up after seeing everyone's expectation. I looked at the night sky again, wanting to thank God for giving me luck tonight, when suddenly, another bright light crossed the night sky. I laughed.

The next day, we discussed the scene of watching meteors the night before.

"How many shooting stars did you look at last night?" Lao Zhao asked.

"Looking at the chicken feathers, I just listened to a group of people screaming." Eric said indignantly.

"I don't know if it's counted or not, but it seems like there's one." Da Biao's squad leader said.

"I'll go, I don't know if I look at it or not? Do you think you're a biao? You're a big! Lao Zhao refused to let go of any opportunity to get the leader of Da Biao's class.

"You look at one and be content, what kind of bicycle do you want, I don't know what the hell they're calling." Lin Ye seemed to be a little jealous.

"yes, I think I saw three." I said, "I wanted to call you, but there were too many people to find it." ”

"Look at the character of others, and then look at you." Lao Zhao seemed to be happier than me, "What did you say you went to do in one night?" ”

"Well, blame me for running too fast." Da Biao's squad leader regretted it a little.

"What did you wish?" Lin Ye's gossip heart began to stir.

"Xu Ji feathers, I'm looking for you." I said, "Later, when I saw that the time was almost up, I went back to bed, and I don't know when you will return." ”

"Alas, I really envy you, I might as well sleep at home if I knew this. This makes me sleepy. I'm going to sleep in class in the morning. Lin Ye yawned after speaking.

"You don't sleep in any class?" Eric also started the "scare" mode.

"I'm rubbing, and I'm talking about me, as if you've seen a meteor."

"It's all because those people are screaming!"

"That's right! Blind calling! ”

"Okay, don't complain, little plum at night?" Lao Zhao said.

"Let's go!"

"Let's go! I'm called my object. ”

"Let's go! I'm also called my partner. ”

"Let's go!"
