Meteor Shower Tonight

[MyOwnDemon]

Anybody going to watch the meteor shower tonight? Just saw this on Yahoo news and it looks pretty interesting. Maybe it's just the inner nerd in me, but I think it's sah-weet.

This means it's going to be cloudy. The moon will be high and bright in the sky also.

I'll watch it on youtube tomorrow

Yep, I'll be taking a look this evening if the sky stays relatively clear. I'm a sucker for astronomical phenomena, and we're living in interesting times. The last 15 years have been chock full of good stuff for amateur astronomers, like three major naked-eye comets, a Venus transit, a comet impacting with Jupiter, and several unusually spectacular meteor showers. I'm hoping this one will be (nearly) as good as the Leonids in 1998.

It's so cloudy I can't even see the stars, so no meteor shower here.

I just got back from watching it... saw about 1 every 2 minutes or so. A few were giant fireballs.

 

[redmonkey]

Been waiting for like 15 mins, didn't see a thing.

I can never see anything from my place in London. Amazing since the Greenwich observatory where they do most of the sightings is just down the road.

I saw a couple around 1:30am. It was really cloudy and the moon was bright though.

I didn't see shit.

For those who missed it yesterday, don't worry, because today is the best time to watch anyways. So if you didn't see shit yesterday (probably because of the moon + cloudiness) then tune in tonight b/w 12-5:00 am and you should have some more luck.

The obvious point is that if you live in the city you will probably not see much, but if you live even a little bit outside of the downtown/city area, you should have a good chance of seeing some dope shit.

In North America, the best time to watch will be between midnight to 5 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 12, but late Tuesday night and also Wednesday night could prove fruitful, weather permitting.

Last night was the peak.
