IN THIS NIGHT

This has been an AstralAdvent complaint.

11/17/2009 2:43:57 AM

well that's a bold claim

11/17/2009 2:46:15 AM

well it isn't time yet right

for the "peak"?

now i wonder if i should just stay up and try to catch this

will i be able to see it in the cityyyy?

11/17/2009 2:46:16 AM

I'm going to check it out in the next hour or so.

11/17/2009 2:47:31 AM

LIGHT POLUTION FTW

fuck historic events.

I'm AstralAdvent and i think its time for a smiley change

11/17/2009 2:48:12 AM

ok i keep seeing 4am that is a long time to stay up

and only 20 - 30 meteors per hour over the US

and i'm not even in that dark of a spot - i bet i won't see anything

why am i not in asia right now

11/17/2009 2:50:41 AM

because you'd be killed and your insides sold and your skin worn

I'm AstralAdvent and i think its time for a smiley change

i was out at the lake johnson dam for an hour and a half or so... saw 3 or 4 that left vapor trail tracers front and center in the sky, and a handful of smaller ones and others lower in the lighter part of the sky

11/17/2009 3:24:33 AM

I saw some. Topsail Beach FTW

11/17/2009 3:34:00 AM

i saw some at the lake wheeler dam


MORE LIKE METEOR SPRINKLE!!!

AMIRITE!?

11/17/2009 4:22:26 AM

^^i was out there as well, saw bout 3 good ones before we left

11/17/2009 4:23:56 AM

^^with all the light pollution from Raleigh, that's all you can expect to see.

11/17/2009 4:31:55 AM

I saw some things that looked like standard shooting stars.

I'm planning the next one. I need shit to get excited about and celebrate.

11/17/2009 4:33:11 AM

I'm just off Hillsborough St and I saw a couple around 4am

11/17/2009 7:46:07 AM

i saw only two or three truly "good" ones...the rest were about standard (and there were probably only 10 or so of those over the course of 2 hours)

we were near the NCSU farms off lake wheeler...the light pollution wasn't that bad, so i'm attributing the poor viewing to the shower itself since the last one i watched (2006? 2007?) was at lake lynn and i saw many more meteors even in spite of the light pollution that comes with being inside the city limits

11/17/2009 8:04:47 AM

^ that's where we were, too.

sucked. I was disappointed. >.>

[Edited on November 17, 2009 at 8:06 AM. Reason : actually, ok, it didn't suck, but it wasn't great either]

11/17/2009 8:06:36 AM

I saw a few, but was expecting a lot more.

11/17/2009 8:14:40 AM

in other news, i slept for about 2 hours before the meteor shower and another 1.5 after...i'm a zombie at work today

11/17/2009 8:20:02 AM

we saw about 10 between the two of us in the mountains, did not sleep at all

11/17/2009 8:46:55 AM

yeah, the humidity wouldnt have helped your cause either...sorry guys

11/17/2009 9:07:24 AM

the perseid shower in august wasnt that great but i saw maybe 10

last night was very nice


hopefully the geminid shower next month will be better.........it is usually the best shower of the year and it also coincides with a new moon

11/17/2009 1:03:30 PM

i'm holding out for a 10,000+ /min rate

11/17/2009 1:19:59 PM

bump

12/14/2009 12:10:25 AM

FOG

12/14/2009 12:11:52 AM

I'm hoping it'll clear up sometime in the next hour or two

12/14/2009 12:12:09 AM

It won't, there's no sound reason to say it even might.

12/14/2009 12:53:47 AM

still to foggy cant she shit

12/14/2009 12:55:36 AM

I tried to partake in the previous "omfg meteor shower omfgomfg" event earlier this semester.

2/10, will not partake again.

12/14/2009 12:56:48 AM

if it were clear, this one would be better

12/14/2009 3:20:53 AM

12/14/2009 3:46:35 AM

12/14/2009 3:59:40 AM
