This was our first attempt at shooting night time sky videos, with our new video camera. We initially went out to try and catch the Perseid Meteor Shower, but instead we caught the International Space Station fly over. I still have to pour through hours of video to see if we caught any meteorites, so hopefully I can post that too. The link to view the ISS in your area is: spaceflight.nasa.gov
The skies above Britain will be the scene of a celestial fireworks show tonight as part of an annual meteor shower. Perfect weather conditions mean that many will be able to see the Perseid shower in all its glory. The cosmic phenomenon occurs every August when the Earth passes through a swarm of dusty particles from the Swift-Tuttle comet. No bigger than a grain of sand, the particles burn up as they hit the atmosphere, producing trails of light that shoot across the sky. It is expected to peak at around 11pm and continue through the night. Those in the countryside will have a clear sight of the shower, but even those in cities affected by light-pollution will be treated to as many as 10 meteors an hour. For those who want to get the most spectacular views Stonehenge in Wiltshire and Mam Tor in the Peak District near Sheffield are the places to be. Bright white streaks of light will be most visible in rural areas with clear, cloudless skies.With the moon setting early, there will be extra dark skies, making the display even more striking. Sky News weather forecaster Lucy Verasamy Cloudy skies could obstruct the view for people in northern Scotland and eastern parts of England though. Jo Burgon, of the National Trust, said: "Seeing stars in their full splendour, shining bright in the sky above you, is one of the unofficial wonders of the natural world. "The intrusive glow of street lighting or a bright moon can be detrimental to a good meteor experience. "But with a good ...
Some my know that MattAttack is a history buff. He a collector at heart with a particular interest and fascination for the Civil War, Revolutionary War and Early American History. His room is cramped with books, little boxes and packages filled with bits of history that he has slowly collected online and while on vacation using his allowance and vacation money. This summer Matt has worked very hard getting ahead of next year's sophomore school work by studying Geometry and Spanish. Last year we decided to give him a little special reward for all the hard work by breaking out a package we had stuffed away for a special occasion. Matt is a huge fan of the Antique Roadshow. One of his favorite guests on the show is Rafael Eledge from Shiloh Relics in Savannah, Tennessee. We have purchased several birthday and Christmas gifts for Matt from Shiloh Relics. One Christmas, Rafael put a small pair of Civil War era soldier's dice in the package we ordered to put under the Christmas Tree. We were so touched by Rafael's kind gesture for a little boy fascinated with the Civil War. Shiloh Relics www.shilohrelics.com Meteor showers . . . well stay tuned!

Very, very early tomorrow morning is when you'll catch the Perseid meteor shower, the largest meteor display of the year. The bad news is that it's also a full moon tonight, which is going to cut down significantly on the visibility of all but the brightest shooting stars. But don't despair! Here's what you need to know to catch a glimpse of as many meteors as possible. Avoid light like the plague We're talking all kinds of light. City lights, street lights, house lights, flashlights, any lights. You've already got the moon giving off tons of it, so don't blow it by checking your indiglo watch out of habit and for god's sake don't look at your phone. If you're in the country, go find a big open field. If you're in the city, get out if you can. If you can't get out, try to find a high point. If you're lucky, you might find yourself near some trees or a hill that can block the moon from your vision. The Clear Sky Chart website has a great list of optimal viewing locations organized by state, so go check it out. Once you're all settled in, give yourself at least 20 minutes for your eyes to fully adapt to the dark. How do you know if your eyes have adapted? A good rule of thumb says if you can see all the stars in the little dipper (you should count 10) you'll see plenty of meteors. If you can't spot all 10 it's not a big deal, that's just under optimal conditions. Know when and where to look The best hours for catching the Perseids are typically between midnight and dawn ...
Video Compilation of Perseid Meteors recorded on the evening of the 10th/ morning of the 11th of August 2010 for Meteorwatch. Many Meteors were captured by the Meteorcam (kindly Supplied by The Royal Astronomical Society) and here is a nice selection of them. These Meteors were filmed 2 days before the peak of the Perseid Meteor Shower. Video and Music produced by Adrian West www.meteorwatch.org www.twitter.com/virtualastro www.ras.org

We went to Steep rock, Manitoba, north of Winnipeg, on the night of August 11, 2010 to see northern lights (Aurora). The Geophysical institute predicted a high aurora index and there was Perseid meteor shower on that day. We saw average 5-6 meteors/30mins at around 12 O'Clock.
Visual explanation (screen-shot) of our experiencing the Perseid Meteor shower each mid-August. It results from Earth's orbit intersecting the orbit of a comet. Past melted off comet debris pieces burn up as they intersect our atmosphere.
My first ever bit of time lapse photography, if you really watch you can make out some of the Perseids meteor shower. Its 297 shots squeezed in to about 20 secs of star trails.

Informational video on the upcoming Perseids meteor shower. I meant to post this earlier, but i didn't. I apologize for that. Anyways this video will provide you all the information you need to view one of the year's best meteor showers: -Peak Nights are August 12 and 13. Note this means the EARLY MORNING of, not that night. -The expected ZHR (meteors per hour) are around 100 or so, depending on viewing conditions - Timing will be difficult. Although this is best viewed in the wee hours, moonlight will be a challenge this year, making some people's viewing time limited. Contact me for your best viewing time for your location. - Direction to look will generally be East or Northeast, although meteors can appear at any direction. - Ideal conditions to view a meteor shower include: Clear night, no city lights, no moonlight out in the country. If you have any questions or concerns about this meteor shower, please contact me ASAP! The peak nights are rapidly approaching, so you need to get ready for it! I will answer any questions you may have. For additional information, go to: www.spaceweather.com Unable to view the Perseids? Listen to the live meteor radar! spaceweatherradio.com
God blessed us with atmosphere. Tonight is the proof. www.justayesornoplease.com The best way to see these beautiful sites is to go to a location where skies are clear and where the city lights do not make a glow in the sky. the darker the better. The best show should be after 1am.
If you look close on the left of the screen you can see a meteor from the Perseid meteor shower. The one moving across the sky in the upper third of the screen is just a plane. The red flashes are a fire being stoked.
The following event occurred on August 13th, 2011 in the forest of Southern Ontario, near Arden. The incident occurred during the Perseid meteor shower at a remote personal campsite.
Just a little video i made the other day.

People in Indiana, Michigan, the Dakotas, and Iowa got quite a show Wednesday night. A sheriff's deputy's dash cam caught a meteor on tape in eastern Iowa.
More information will be forthcoming in August 12, just after the Perseid meteor shower. They plan on pointing a space telescope at the comet and observe it closely. So this is just a tease for now OBVIOUSLY THIS IS NOT A DWARF STAR.
Meteor Shower on Aug. 13, 2010 in West Vancouver, Canada. Taken with a Nikon D300 DSLR and 10.5mm fisheye lens. Total of 3 hours of exposure. Unfortunately, there were few meteors to be seen. A number of aircraft flew over head and the batteries died after 3 hours. Oh well!

Science & Reason on Facebook: tinyurl.com NASA: Comets And Meteor Showers (Perseid Meteor Shower). --- Please subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com --- Have you ever wondered what makes these cosmic fireworks? Meteor showers are just colorful debris of a passing comet or occasionally , the debris from a fragmented asteroid. When a comet nears the sun, its icy surface heats up. This causes clouds of gas, dirt and dust to be released, forming a tail of debris that can stretch for millions of miles. As Earth passes near this dusty tail, some of the small dust particles hit our atmosphere. They burn up and create great celestial fireworks for us to enjoy. NASA generates meteor shower forecasts to prevent potential hazards to spacecraft that are launching and orbiting Earth. NASA also monitors these showers to check the accuracy of the forecasts. You can learn about all of NASA's missions at www.nasa.gov. --- Rocks and Ice in the Solar System Our Solar System consists of the Sun, planets, and moons, but it also contains a multitude of smaller chunks of rock and ice. These objects were left over from the time when our Sun and Solar System formed. So where are all of these small neighbors? Millions of rocky chunks called asteroids orbit in a region between the four rocky inner planets and the four outer gas giant planets. The Dawn mission is currently on its way to investigate Ceres and Vesta, two of the largest ...

Earth is entering a stream of debris from Comet Swift-Tuttle, source of the annual Perseid meteor shower. International observers are now reporting more than a dozen Perseids per hour, a number that will increase as the shower reaches its peak on August 12-13.

Get ready to make a wish! Mid-August is the best time of the year to spot a shooting star. As the Perseid meteor shower reaches its height on 12 August, Hannah Bayman has some tips on how you can spot one.
"MAJOR FLARE, NOT EARTH-DIRECTED: On August 9th at 0805 UT, sunspot 1263 produced an X7-class solar flare--only the third X-flare of new Solar Cycle 24 and the most powerful so far. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the explosion's extreme ultraviolet flash. The brunt of the explosion was not Earth directed. Nevertheless, radiation from the flare created waves of ionization in Earth's upper atmosphere, briefly disrupting communications at some VLF and HF radio frequencies. The blast also accelerated a mild torrent of protons toward Earth; they can be seen speckling the images in this SOHO movie of a CME emerging from the blast site."

The 2010 Perseid meteor shower is seen as the Anna Maria Bayfront Park in Anna Maria, Florida. During the opening credits, the Sunshine Skyway Bridge (connecting Pinellas and Manatee counties) in the distance on the horizon to see. It is 7.6 miles from where I stand. The sequences were shot with a Nikon D300 camera with a 12-24mm lens. The individual images were shot at 30 seconds exposures at intervals of 1 minute.
This is the most famous of all meteor showers. There is always an impressive display and to give thanks to its summer appearance, it tends to see the majority of the meteors of non-astronomy enthusiasts give. This meteor shower gets the name "Perseids" because it seems to radiate from the constellation Perseus. Begin an observer in the northern hemisphere can see Perseid meteors as early as July 23 when one meteor every hour or so could be visible. During the next three weeks becauseis a slow build. It is possible to five Perseids per hour at the beginning of August and perhaps 15 per hour 10th August on the spot. The Perseids rapidly increase to a peak of 50-80 meteors per hour by the night of 12/13 and then decline rapidly to about 10 per hour to 15 August. The last night meteors are likely to see this meteor shower is 22 August, when an observer could be a Perseid every hour or so to see.
