Title: Perseids
Post by: nickliv on August 12, 2009, 10:11:04 pm
We're due to have the years best meteor shower tonight.

If it's dark where you are, and the clouds are obliging, get out and have a look.

T'was cloudy up here. Best time was apparently between 2 and 4 AM. Last night was the peak of the activity, but you should still see plenty.

Saw three of 'em and two satellites.

Quite impressive in a rather geeky, anorakl-wearing way.

More tonight as it's a clear night darn ear in 'ampshire.
