Meteor Shower?

[Hunny]

I read there's supposed to be a pretty impressive meteor shower tonight starting at 2 am est. I was wondering if anyone knew if those of us in Northern VA would be able to see it? The article I read online didn't say in what area of the country it could be seen from. Or maybe everyone can see it and I'm just dumb?

[Jofizz]

I read about it too, I'm definitely going to check it out. I live down in the Shenandoah Valley. I'll let you know if I see anything.

what time is it suppose to happen?

I think it's supposed to peak at 2:00 AM EST, and supposedly you can see it from all over the world.

damn thats cool

[Hunny]

Thanks! I'll be watching out for it as well. Sucks that I'm in such a lighted area though.

Just drove home on a country road in my convertible...didn't see anything unusual.

[Hunny]

Yeah, haven't seen anything so far. poo. Maybe will go back outside and look for a little while longer.

[Jofizz]

I've seen a few. One really stood out, it was very bright and left a streak in the sky for a few seconds.

Still sitting out on my deck as I type this.

It began at 10:30 here in Jersey. It was weak, we only saw two. The moon is at a point where, although we can't see it well, it blocks any light going to the meteors, making them hard to see.

I laid a rug out in the field and drank some wine with a couple of girlfriends after dinner. Nothing to really see, but the weather is perfect, so it was worth it.

Playa playa.

Oh and I didn't see a damn thing. Pretty disappointed.

[Hunny]

Yeaaah, I didn't see much either. Maybe its the NOVA area.

I saw a couple....light pollution is absolutely horrible though. We'd be able to see a lot more if it weren't for that

I did!

It's a global show, but for meteors you want to be under dark skies. In urban or suburban areas you might see a few but they will be faint.

I heard that this years Perseid meteor show was a little weak too.

But as Kool said, lying out on a blanket with your honey and a bottle of wine on a warm summers evening is a good way to pass the time, even if you don't see anything in the sky.
