Meteors!

Not the meteor-ological kind, but the shooting, falling star variety. Reminders you live on a planet:

"Got a calendar? Circle this date: Sunday, August 12th. Next to the circle write ‘all night‘ and ‘Meteors!‘ Attach the above to your refrigerator in plain view so you won’t miss the 2007 Perseid meteor shower."

Of course, there are plenty of caveats. You need dark skies to see much, preferably with a view of the horizon. And, for best results, you need to plan on staying up well after midnight. But they are fun.
