Sallubrious Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) Fucking Flying rocks! This is going on right now and is supposed to be visible over a fairly wide range of zones. I've seen a few flashes but then the cloud cover moved back in & blocked everything. The fucking moon is going to take the edge of what would been a really spectacular show, but anyone in clear skies should see a good show none the less. It should start kicking in now and continue until the pre-dawn hours. Someone else in clearer skies might get a good show.

Drildo Posted August 12, 2017 I have terrible eyes, and I have never seen a meteor in my life. In the time it just took me to have a cigarette I saw two. This is fkn amazing... I'm going to rug up and spend some hours out there tonight. Thx for the heads up Sal! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazonian Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) Hmmf, overcast here. The above link says the meteor shower could be seen tomorrow night too?! Anyway, I'll leave my curtains open tonight and perhaps I'll see something. Can I make a wish on it, you know, like a shooting star?, couldn't hurt right?! Lol. Edit. Ok, so a metiorite and a shooting star is the same thing?! ( why don't I retain information , lol) Edited August 12, 2017 by Amazonian Coz I'm blonde Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sallubrious Posted August 13, 2017 I didn't see anything except a few early flashes and then the fucking clouds blew in and put an end to it. People in the Northern Hemisphere on the other side of the globe should be getting a good show now and depending on their location they won't have the moon interfering with the view. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
