I was reading earthsky.org and found that there are meteor showers during this weekend.

Is this visible from India and specifically from Chennai?

Thanks,

Saravana

I was in the roof between 4.00 and 5.30.  The problem was that it (streaks of lights) was something there once in a while at different places.  Now I am not sure whether these are meteor showers that my eye sees or the brain imagining. (I don't whether one could imagine my experience).  Before I went, I had seen photos, and videos on meteor showers, now that I know how it looks, is that my brain imagining or really I saw something.  All this confusion is because - that I am an amateur and these showers are at different places and just very feeble.

Thanks,
