Anybody going to watch the Meteor shower tonight?

[kel24]

I've heard there is going to be a fantastic meteor shower tonight at around 10pm onwards, anyone planning on trying to watch or know any more information about it? i hope the clouds clear a bit so we can all get a good view!! :D

Is this localized or everywhere? lol sounds stupid now I've asked that.

Most of the Northern Hemisphere should be able to see them. I think pre-dawn is supposed to be the best time to see them, somethign to do with the angle of Earth at that time. Luckily, I leave for work at that time so am keeping fingers crossed that it's a clear night. :)

can't see the hill out the back cos of mist so no chance off see anything else

[Iffy]

Which direction should we be looking in ?

I think "Tuggs" is the ONE to keep us all right !

Are you aboot Tuggs ???

[Sage]

just look UP dahlink ;)

Hopefully the mist will clear, but for the last couple of years its been like this. Best out around midnight if you cant stay up for the pre-dawn show...it's usually excellent :D

I think the North East is where the action is, we are going to climb the highest mountain in Caithness for better vantage point.:Razz

Good luck getting to the summit of Morven at this time of the evening. Its 706m, so its going to take a bit of time :eek:

Will have a look out down here in sunny Lancaster, I wonder if it will be anywhere near as impressive as the thunder and lightening shower we had earlier today lol.

[joxville]

Typical, it started raining here about 2hrs ago and though it's stopped for now, it doesn't look like the cloud is going to clear. :( Hopefully better in the morning.

[Kevin Milkins]

I am a little bit disappointed, I have just come in and not a star in sight.:(
