Where I live (Cedar Rapids), it rained. :-( (Don't tell the Creationists that Science got it "wrong".)

19 meteors in two and a half hours? That's not a shower - that's a dribble.

Is that just 19 captured with a long exposure?  To avoid overexposure, long exposure requires low sensitivity.   It was said because velocity of Tau Herculid particle swarm relative to the earth is low, most meteors would be dim.

How the fuck would I know? I didn’t take the picture, and I’m not invested enough to bother looking it up.

Per the APOD post, it was a composite photo.

But, it was active if one were in space!
