(meteorobs) Perseid max 2006 Florida

[Arlene Carol]

Hi All...Hi Richard...

I have to tell you something amazing!! We DO have the Milky Way here all the
time. A few years ago, a good friend was in the area with his family during
August. We all went out to see the Perseids.
My friend is a Seismologist (PhD) here in Turkey...I pointed out the Milky
Way to him and he said that he always thought it was just a cloud!  ???

Amazing the degree of 'specialization' in some professions...

I was shocked.

Oh well....
