More Meteors!

Post by Mickal Redwater » Mon Nov 16, 2009 7:39 pm

Hey everyone, thought i'd let you know there will be another Meteor Shower tonight!

Sadly it'll be best in Asia, but ok still in the US, not sure about in Europe.


The Leonids start at like 4 am EST tomorrow morning.... so either tonight or tomorrow would be a great time to go camp! You can look up on the internet when/if it'll be good for you.


Look for the constellation Leo, it should be there!

Also close to dawn (in the US) you should see Mars right near Leo (Saturn too) which could be cool to see meteor go right past mars :)

Boo to light pollution!

It was perfectly clear out last night. The beauty of living in the mountains, not much city lights or any pollution.

I was to tired of drinking Strawberry Daiquri's and watching Twilight to stay up though.

LoL :)

Well it was better than i expected! we saw maybe 30 of them while we were out in the desert. Not a great number, but considering we were drunk and not paying too much attention was pretty good.

There will be other ones :) But i still get excited everytime. Meteor showers can be spectactular :)

Plus now that iphone apps can show you all the constellations and planets pretty easily, i feel like i dont have to memorize stuff before going out to look smart ;)

Not sure if this has come up here or not but I'm just thinking about what they do with satellites when there's these meteor showers... it seems as though they'd be a bit prone to damage.

As for the shower itself... I have seen stars very few times since I was in Belgium. Nancy, FR doesn't seem to know that stars are cool to have above your head, when they're visible(in Brest/surrounding areas it was easy, not as populated but they shut streetlights off after 11 or 12 most days).
