On February 9, 1913, a unique procession of meteors was observed from Canada, parts of the US, and in one case, off the coast of Brazil. Several streams of brilliant meteors were seen moving relatively slowly across the sky; the event lasted too long for a regular meteor sighting, but too short for a regular meteor shower, and moreover, the meteors did not, like showers, radiate from a single point in the sky. Most of North America was cloudy that day, so out of the millions of potential observers, only hundred-odd reports were made, mostly from remote locations, but there is no doubt that it happened. The meteors were accompanied by a trembling sound.
Comparing eyewitness reports and making calculations of possible trajectories, scientists have proposed a remarkable possibility: that this event, called by some the Cyrillid meteor shower, was a short-lived natural satellite of the Earth. (This view is not undisputed.) Natural satellites, especially bigger ones, are more conventionally called moons. If this hypothesis is true, the most likely explanation for the 1913 event is that some small celestial object, after however many round-trips around the Sun, got caught in orbit around the Earth, for a brief while giving us a second, tiny moon, until it broke apart into a brilliant procession of meteors.

“I wish nothing but the best for you. Sometimes it last in love sometimes it hurts instead”
I feel like every female out there can relate to what I’m going through right now… So in love with someone I know who loves me but the issues are just too much. He keeps pushing me away and saying he can’t do this. I don’t want to give up.. He’s way too special to give up but I also feel like he needs to mature because yes, mistakes have been made, but if you want to continue trying to be with me forgiveness is key. He gave me his all and I gave him my all but he’s giving up because he doesn’t know how to forgive how to let the past be in the past and focus on all the positive changes our relationship has gone through. Our time together in the past few months have been a lot better. He still says he’s single, he still says he can’t trust me even though I’m there for him every free moment I have. It’s hard but I need to stop trying for now I need too. If he’s not talking to me why should I continue texting him? Only making myself look pathetic. I hope he realizes how good we have it, but I’m afraid because he has no coping skills this will never happen. He’s too angry dwelling on things that can’t be changed yet telling me he will always love me. How do you know what to do? For now… I just wait :(
