Winnipeg Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 *sigh*...it feels like we're moving backwards going back to the apollo style space craft. Where are my damn space planes (that are far more reusable than the Space Shuttle ever truely was). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winnipeg Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I guess that really depends on what's powering it/providing it with energy to continue...but yes, storms do eventually come to an end. Would be kinda sad though...for most of written history Humans have known Jupiter by the Red Spot, but in a generation or two it there might be no red spot for humans to see.

Westwind Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 METEOR ALERT: This weekend, Earth will pass through a stream of debris from Comet 209P/LINEAR. If forecasters are correct, the encounter could produce an outburst of bright meteors numbering more than 200 per hour. Most models agree that peak rates should occur between the hours of 0600 UT and 0800 UT (2 a.m. and 4 a.m. EDT) on Saturday morning, May 24th, a time frame that favors observers in North America. It is worth noting, however, that Earth has never encountered this stream of debris before, so forecasters cannot be certain of their predictions. The display could be a complete dud, a fantastic "meteor storm," or anything in between. Visit http://spaceweather.com for full coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnipeg Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Yeah, looking forward to chance at least...too bad it's not a little earlier, but at least being in Mountain Time it's Midnight to 2am, so I don't have to stay up too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Bobs Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 How did it look? I'd love to be able to see more, but I live right in the city centre (UK) and don't have car, so it's rare I get a good view of the stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhang Bhang Duc Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 How did it look? I'd love to be able to see more, but I live right in the city centre (UK) and don't have car, so it's rare I get a good view of the stars. Bit of a fizzer I gather, 5- 10 meteors per hour. It was always a long shot as we don't know how active the comet was when it produced these dust streams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westwind Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I gave it about a half hour of viewing. One very nice, long and bright greenish-bluish streak, and a couple of extremely faint short ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnipeg Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Lethbridge had a Chinook Arch overhead last night, so no stars, shooting or otherwise to be seen. bah! I can't remember the last significant event, be it meteor showers, or aggressive auroras that Lethbridge has had clear skies for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
