[open] All things by immortal power, near or far to each other linked are, that thou canst not stir
WHO: Constance Peixes and any of her Astronomy students that want extra credit/just want to see a meteor shower
TONE: Academic, with a side of 'oooh' and 'aaaah'.
RATING: G
WHEN: Late October 20, into the wee hours of the 21st
WHERE: a remote part of school grounds with a clear view of the night sky
WHAT: a field trip, to observe the Orionid meteor shower! Mix, mingle, ask what that one funny-looking trail is, but more importantly, enjoy the show!
STATUS: Ongoing!
Thank goodness the weather held. It was a bit of a chilly night, so Constance had advised her students to dress warmly, and she'd made a quick arrangement for a keg of hot butterbeer to be delivered to the site for later on, along with hot chocolate and tea. But the sky was clear, and it would make for good observation weather.
She set up the rest of the telescopes and equipment, put up a few defensive charms up - mostly against any animals that might disturb the site, but also against any humans who might try to tamper with it - and back to campus.
Once it was time, she gathered up her group, and began to head out. Once they arrived, she passed around a set of several past showers, pointing out what to look for.
Now to wait for the show.
[ooc: prose or action is fine! also, the second youtube link is better with sound off, watched in HD fullscreen if your computer can.]

You know, back when I was a student here, my own Astronomy professor took us out here to watch meteor showers. He liked to draw them, too, and I remember him saying that this was his favorite place in the world for it.
