Darkfinn Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Sadly it is too bright here in the city to see much. Link to comment
square_duck Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I'll miss this as well, since I have a rehearsal. I have seen previous meteor showers and they really are cool. I wish I could see it, but I know there will be another one in a few months to catch. have fun in your jammies! qwack Link to comment
Darkfinn Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 You have a rehearsal until Midnight? The best viewing hours are from 11PM - 1AM Link to comment
messyman Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 If all this weather blows over I might. Link to comment
AutieAB Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Sadly it is too bright here in the city to see much. Can you see the stars at all? If so, you should be able to see them, they're normally quite bright. It's pretty much a new moon tonight as well which should help darken the sky outside cities even more. I wouldn't miss Persid night Link to comment
square_duck Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 You have a rehearsal until Midnight? The best viewing hours are from 11PM - 1AM Yeah, rehearsals run from 6 pm call to 11pm, then its another 20 minute drive home. I too live in the city, so the lights drown out everything. I'd have to head out to a less populated desert area where the city lights aren't as bright to see anything. Thats what I did a number of years ago, I think I went out to Valencia or Bouquet canyon or something where it was dark to watch the meteors... it was very cool too! I never knew they also made noises! you can hear them sizzle and pop as they go over and or explode...I never knew that...it was weird, but fun!! qwack Link to comment
beallucanb Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I love those showers I like get in my pickup and go up to the higher mountains and watch . Not tonight though rain in my area. Link to comment
Diapers4Me Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Will it be visible throughout the US? I'll go out and watch (and feed the mosquitoes) if it is... Link to comment
Diapers4Me Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Never mind....answered my own question...the whole northern hemisphere will be able to see them between 11pm and 5am (best viewing). Link to comment
square_duck Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Never mind....answered my own question...the whole northern hemisphere will be able to see them between 11pm and 5am (best viewing). 11 to 5 huh?? Hmmm...might be cool after all. I can zip across the city and head out to someplace dark to watch.....neat! Diapered of coarse too Link to comment
PoopyPantsCarly Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 1 hour till the meteors start to peak. should i dipaer now or wit till just before? Link to comment
AutieAB Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 It's storming here. Part of me hopes it'll clear so I can see the meteorites, part of me hopes it'll carry on to clear the stuffy humid air that's been plaguing this area for weeks now Link to comment
square_duck Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I got home a bit ago, and it's 12:40 am now. I went outside for a bit and didn't see anything I already changed for bed....and hate to get dressed again to go find someplace dark....maybe by the beach of something...Ugh. I've seen these before and they are neat...I guess I'm not in the mood. I'm also tired after rehearsal....ok, I'm a party pooper too Hope who ever stayed up enjoyed the show.. Link to comment
