Okay so the eclipse wasn't that exciting (we were supposed to get 97.5%
totality in Bristle but it was still quite bright (although cloudy)) -
but how about a meteor shower?
"August 9, 1999: The attention of the world will be riveted on the
heavens this week as the last total solar eclipse of the 20th century
takes place on August 11. However, for most skywatchers outside the path
of totality, the best sky show won't occur until a day and a half
later, on Thursday, August 12, and Friday, August 13. That's when the
annual Perseid meteor shower reaches its peak with 50 to 150 shooting
stars per hour."
