Very cool!
When my boys were young, we would chart all the upcoming meteor showers and because I worked nights, I would come home, get them up and we would sit out on the deck in the dark, snuggled in sleeping bags, whisper chatting as we watched the skies...till they would start to drift back off to sleep. 
Now that we live outside town, we can watch them regularly and I still love it.
