Anyone staying up late to watch it? Estimated up to 100 per hour
-
Thanks for the reminder!
May have to venture out tonight..
-
Took out bottle of red wine and woke up not seeing a thing :old:
-
Didnt see anything here either
-
Walked the dog about 10 PM ET and saw a single meteor here in SE TN. Wasn't even going to think about staying up any later.
-
laid out on the ground for a good hour and watched...pretty awesome....
saw something that was not a meteor or a satellite.... :headscratch:
we call satellite's "movers" just a dull light that moves across the sky very fast...
this thing was stationary and started moving towards Polaris....it then became bright... as it moved further along its path....it became brighter...to a point of being brighter then any of the stars....then just vanished....
if my dreams come true....we are f'ed....

Might have been the space station. It's pretty big and bright. I have an app on my phone that tells me where it's at all the time and when and in which part of the sky it'll be visible and for how long. And it's dead on too. Orbit put it right over my part of the world a few nights least week.
It also describes what's called "iridium flares" that I think are other smaller sattelites. Same thing with them. You see them and they get brighter, brighter, brighter, gone.
You'll generally only see them for a few hours after sunset and a few hours before sunrise. Reason being later at night they're passing behind the earth's shadow.

Just looked and the app sez that on Friday night it'll be visible from 21:56 at 10° elev in the NW to 21:59 at 34° elev in the NNE. Duration of 3:01. You're in NE so give a look if ya remember.
