Meteor Showers

[Morpheus]

The next upcomign Meteor Shower is July 27-29, originating from the S.E., called the, "Aquarids".

[Silver]

Thanks for the reminder, Morpheus.

My son and I used to catch the regulars whenever we could.

[Morpheus]

Your welcome. I was outside tonight. Caught one streaking by in the North.

I'll catch the shower if I can. We're told to be expecting a good monsoon season. Hope it's not too overcast.

A CME burst from the Sun, it says, is set to reach us on Earth on July 31st, with the possibility of minor, to medium elctromagnetic interferences.

Anyone outside at night, checking out the Aquarids shower? Occurring between the 27-29th.

Will it be clear or cloudy tonight? - www.cleardarksky.com (http://www.spiritualforums.com/vb/redir.php?link=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.spiritualforums.co m%2Fvb%2Fredir.php%3Flink%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww .spiritualforums.com%252Fvb%252Fredir.php%253Flink %253Dhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.cleardarksky.com )

The Perseid shower (which is already under way) is promising to have a wonderful peak (August 11-13) this year... the moon is looking to be more forgiving this year, unlike last year. You don't have to keep your eye on Perseus, as the meteors will streak across the entire sky. Best observed between midnight and dawn.

A CME burst from the Sun, it says, is set to reach us on Earth on July 31st, with the possibility of minor, to medium elctromagnetic interferences.
That CME (and the M6 flare associated with it) is a mere kitten, but should produce some nice aurorae around the poles.

CME (2012-07-28 22:00:32 - 2012-07-29 03:59:20 UTC) (http://www.spiritualforums.com/vb/redir.php?link=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatc h%3Fv%3DWAvELj6BX7M)

Thanx Lulu. Unfortunately the Moon is too bright, and the constellations aren't hardly visible, or the Milky Way.

Nothing going on from my perception. Oh well.

Thanx Lulu. Unfortunately the Moon is too bright, and the constellations aren't hardly visible, or the Milky Way.

Nothing going on from my perception. Oh well.
I actually just got back from a bit of sky-gazing... I believe I caught a glimpse of one Perseid, but, unfortunately, a huge storm rolled on in and cut my gazing short. I haven't had much luck with sky-gazing for the past couple of years... it seems every time there is an event in the heavens it is either hidden behind thick cloud cover or a rain/snow storm (from my vantage point, at least). Come to think of it, I haven't really brought my telescope out much in the past year.

During the Perseid peak (Aug 11th - 13th), the moon will be in its waning crescent phase and, as an added bonus, the moon will be near Venus and Jupiter. So, barring any cloud cover or storm, viewing of the Perseid peak this year should be most excellent. The Perseids put on an awesome show... the dance across the sky like no others... very bright and fast.

If you do go out during the peak and your view is relatively clear, you can expect to see upwards of 50+ Perseids an hour. Remember, they are best viewed between midnight and dawn (but, because the moon will be rising in the predawn sky, you can probably catch a decent show in the late evening, as well).

I do hope you get to see them!

I hope I get to see them!

*fingers crossed*

:D

[Morpheus]

I'll have the popcorn at the ready...

This morning I went out bef0re dawn, and you know, the big show is Venus, and Jupiter.
There are three bright lights, north of Taurus' horns, I think the lesser is Mars. Not sure. And there is Auriga, the pentagon, or, Jewish Star.
I don't get how the ancients got a chariot out of that.

To the east this morning, something blazed for a few seconds, as it was moving north, and then faded out. A satellite, or perhaps even the space station. It shined like Venus for just a few seconds.

[Morpheus]

Night before last, went out late....dispite the overcast, shooting star, right overhead.
Go figure...

Don't you love looking up at the exact (perfect) moment? It's almost as if it was meant only for you...

The moon has been too bright for me for the past few days... could barely even see Ursa Major last night! I'm hoping the next few days will be more eventful for me.

[Morpheus]

Yeah. Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

[Neville]

Next up , The Perseid Meteor shower, August 12/13. by all accounts a real treat for the sky watcher.

[Lulu]

Neville,

Look up at the sky tonight... you just might see a Perseid, or two, shoot across the sky. I've seen a couple so far, but the moon has been exceptionally bright this week, bringing visibility to pretty much zero :( The peak is promising to have excellent viewing conditions this year, unlike last year (which was a let down). I might even bring out my telescope and other equipment... astrophotography is one of my hobbies and I'd love a good shot of the Perseids in action, as last year I just couldn't get a decent shot.

For anyone else interested in the Perseid shower, if I may quote myself from earlier in this thread,

During the Perseid peak (Aug 11th - 13th), the moon will be in its waning crescent phase and, as an added bonus, the moon will be near Venus and Jupiter. So, barring any cloud cover or storm, viewing of the Perseid peak this year should be most excellent.

Keep your fingers crossed, everyone lol.

Rather warm night before last. Sat down outside, I got to see a satellite traversing north, at about 1:00 high, facing west.

The Draconid meteor shower is coming up on Oct 7-8!

[Morpheus]

:>)

Most often I am up and outside before dawn, when things are still dark, to let the dog out, get a glimpse of things above.

Couple, or three nights ago, Venus was so bright! And, with a wide halo around it! Must of been some haze high up causing that.
Together with Orion glittering nearby, it was quite a show,

Following night, I looked up and caught a satellite traveling in the low Eastern sky, from north to south. Steady in it's pace.

[TeaLeaves56]

Wasn't sure where to post this. Meteorite/meteor shower(?) strikes in Russia.
I'd post the link to verify but I haven't made enough posts enough yet. :P

Interesting that this happened right before the fly-by happening later today.

Stepped outside tonight, caught sight of a shooting star.

Believe we have a shower approaching in August.

"The next meteor shower is the Perseids on the nights of August 11 and 12. At its best, under dark skies, you might see a score or so “shooting stars” per hour."

Last night I went out to check on things.
Looking up I spotted a shooting star to the North, and then, a minute or two later, another in the same exact path as the previous one, but even brighter.

Before going in, turning, I spotted another to the East.

December is the month for the Geminides Meteor Shower, to peak around the 12th.

Today's News:

"Meteor explodes over Arizona on the eve of the year's biggest cosmic shower"

"The Andromedids are showers that occur, usually around November, as the Earth passes through old streams of the comet 3D/Biela.
The explosion also shook the house of Tony Kubrak, who told CNN he went outside to see what the commotion was.

"'I see this tremendous, white, bright light in the western sky,' he said.

"02, 03 january 2014 - Quadrantids. Quadrantid meteor shower, get to have up to 40 meteors per hour, usually on 3 and 4 January, but may be visible on 1-5 January. The highest rate of meteors per hour took place in 1932 (80/ hour).
The best time for observations is a dark place after midnight.
Meteors radiate from the constellation Bootes, close to the North Star.

The source of this meteor shower was unknown until December 2003 when Peter Jenniskens of the Ames Research Center (NASA) found evidence that meteoroids come from 2003 EH1 , an “asteroid”, which is probably a piece of a comet which collapsed 500 years ago."

Teal, I read that they would peak at 09:30 Eastern standard time in the U.S., during the day here. I spotted one overnight. but skies were a bit hazy.

At - Space.com

"A meteorite that crashed into a California house in 2012 can be traced back to the giant impact that formed Earth's moon 4.5 billion years ago, a new study reveals."

Since the Moon is said to be part of an ancient Earth, it's like a piece of Earth returning from space!

"The resulting fragment that made it to Earth's atmosphere was about 14 inches (35 centimeters) across and had a mass of about 176 pounds (80 kilograms), researchers said."

"•Researchers in Antarctica at the time reported seeing dust left in the sky
•They estimated it had exploded with the force of 12,000 tonnes of TNT
•Infrasound stations also picked up the explosion and matched the location

Six detectors around the world detected this infrasound thrown out by the exploding meteorite, allowing scientists to pinpoint it somewhere over East Antarctica"

Does anyone recall the News about a low frequency sound heard in detectors around the world?
No, me niether.

'Interestingly enough, when we flew out to the circular structure in the ice on December 26th, we also spotted a number of smaller circular and sub-circular structures in the ice as well, which is consistent with the conclusion of the Australian study.'

"Scientists predict that a meteorite around 30-50m (98 to 164 feet) across is capable of forming a 1km (0.6 miles) crater, will occur around every 1,000 years."

However? Certain research bears out that we are in the midst of change.

The theory of how a Meteor, or rather one should probably cite "Meteors" did the major damage in annihilating the Dinsoaurs is come into question by a group of scientist, of late.
However? I don't think it will hold.

Whole towns and cities have been found, around the world, residing in giant meteor craters, which until recently had been hidden by the overgrowth of sediment and Flora. Now having been detected by satellite technology.

There is also the theory that Mars' atmosphere dissipated, having to do with a similar situation.

As illustrated in the movie.

"The celestial body that struck Mars must have been at least one-tenth the mass of Mars to be able to unleash enough energy to create this magma ocean.
The molten rock eventually solidified into the mountainous highlands that today comprise the southern hemisphere of Mars."

"In the model, the researchers found that activity on Mars died down after around three billion years, after which time the Red Planet experienced neither volcanic activity nor a magnetic field - this is consistent with observations and measurements."
