Talking Meteor Shower?! - 11-17-2009, 05:27 PM

Hi all! This morning at 1a.m. in California we saw a very clear meteor shower! With a few surprises; there were two huge ones that streaked acorss the sky! Unfortunately, we only saw the predicted amount of meteors: 20-30 per hour.
Now, on the news they said that there would be [i]more[i] meteor per hour in Asia, estimating around 200 to 300! Did anyone see the meteor shower last night?
Just curious!

I heard about it. I'm on the East Coast, but it wasn't supposed to be seen until like 4:00 a.m. So I didn't see any of it.

Yeah, we had a hard time too. There were two blazing lights in our backyard, that were kinda in the way. We eventually found a good spot though.
I was really surprised, but you ccould see a good amount of them for being in the city! I thought for sure I wasn't going to able to see any, or at least, you know, one here and there! But, there was a good amount.
I hope you get to see another one soon!

Yeah, have you seen nice ones over on the East Coast, or is it kinda like here, where you have the hardest time seeing anything because there's too many lights?
lol...

Well, there's a lot of lights where I live, but if I heard about it in advance, I know some great places to go. There's quite a few mountains here, and we can get to the very top of all of them. There's some fantastic look outs over here, you should be jealous

Lol! Yeah, we have a few great spots over here too! The Santa Monica mountains have a little spot for star parties. My Mom and I would love to evetually go there, but we didn't know about it in time. >.<'
They haven't been telling people early enough! Oh well...at least we got to see some!

Anyone else see anything cool in the stars last night?

Apparantly we're still waiting on them here in the UK. They should be whizzing about an hour or two from now!

Well, unfortunately, they're not going to peak until about 4am, and typically it's now gone cloudy again so I doubt I'll get to see them :< It's been mentioned on a few shows and things here but being mid-week and the weather being bad, I don't think many people will bother to try and see them.
