Meteor Shower + Lunar Eclipse

[e1n]

there will be a meteor shower on sunday night / monday morning (article said prime time is august 12-13, from 1am-5am). visible from all over united states. for best effect, try to find a large open field that's pretty distant from city lights. they said that the shower should be bright enough that you don't need to be in a very dark place, but the darker, the better.

also, lunar eclipse august 28.

for those too lazy to read, article also mentioned there will be about 100 flashes per hour during this prime time. so for those of you who have the tendency to stay up late doing nothing, tonight would be the best time for you to step out of your house and stare at the sky for a few hours.

Oooh cool, I love meteor showers, I must remember to look. Hopefully we won't have the marine layer, or I'll have to drive somewhere.

I should be up. Probably waking up around 6pm as I gotta take a drive with my Mom to someplace where she's looking for a job. Tho I'll probably forget.

[Invader Pichu]

I'll be up around that time, but I'm very forgetful. D:

I guess this would explain for the shooting stars I've been seeing recently.

I'm pretty psyched to see this tonight. :3

[Crickeylynn]

Hmm... I 'll have to go out to my sisters place tonight and watch it. She lives way out in the middle of nowhere, so that seems to be the best place.

Do you think I could see it? I live like 120 kilometers from USA, and there's plenty of desert and towns to escape from the annoyance of urban lights

[The Iceman]
