Paula and I watched from atop Waterrock Knob on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Clear skies at 5820 feet elevation mountaintop made for good viewing in a great setting. It was a fair year with about 100 meteors including 4 eartgrazers with flaming trails.  A. Leon Polhill, Gator "I was gratified to be a

Yep, there should be a lot more images of Pluto to come too. And… Ceres is going to be photographed from about 900 miles out sometime this month by the Dawn spacecraft. Just what are those bright spots? Oliver Barry, CRS, GRI Bob Parks Realty, LLC Real Estate Broker 145 Maple Row Blvd

RE: [gatortalk] off topic/perseids

There have been some pretty neat cosmic sights lately. Jupiter and Venus together with the waxing moon crescent a month ago was pretty cool. The International Space Station comes by about once or twice a month. I have Tracy Gill to thank for turning me on to it. I just couldn’t stay awake last

RE: [gatortalk] off topic/perseids

Best meteor shower I ever saw was around 10-12 years ago—I think. It was literally raining meteors from 4 in the morning until the dawn’s light finally drowned them out. I’ve been an active watcher for 40 years and there have only been a few show stoppers, but they were worth the wait. From: ga

Re: [gatortalk] off topic/perseids

I guess I was expecting something like a fireworks display. Most of the meteors were not that bright and had a very faint tail. Were I live, I get to see meteors somewhat frequently because of the good viewing conditions. (I have even seen the northern lights on occasion.) jb From: Oliver B

A meteor every minute is boring? It isn’t like watching ESPN, you know. Watching celestial events is still exciting. It just doesn’t compete with all the electric media we get to use today. It is exciting in its own way. Oliver Barry, CRS, GRI Bob Parks Realty, LLC Real Estate Broker 14

Re: [gatortalk] off topic/perseids

Unfortunately I got up at 2:45 and watched for about 1/2 hour. It was a perfect evening to watch—no clouds and I live in the country, so no city lights. It was boring! I saw a meteor about once a minute and very few were spectacular. I have a friend that did the same thing but watched until
