Does anyone have sightings to report? it was overcast and drizzling here all night long~ bummer!
Board: Astronomy
Nothing here, but we checked at 10:30 - not night owls, really. Sounds like it wasn't much anywhere: Camelopardalids meteor shower a bust, but not a surprise http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/capital-weather-gang/wp/2014/05/24/camelopardalids-mete...

Still happening here. Had a little cloud cover, but we can still see it!
Board: Astronomy
No luck seeing it where I live in GA. To many trees and clouds in the way:( Oh well better luck next time around.

We could only see it from 6:15-6:30. Then it slipped below the trees. Good thing we got up early to see it, because they were saying 6:30-7:15.

East Bay area near San Francisco.... Got up to see but socked in with fog. :( Wendy

Also the fact that she says "up there", when she should have said "out there" Up, down, left, and right are meaningless in space.

While others discuss serious points... from the point of view of the young lady, SHE is correct. Obviously parked on a planetary surface 'somewhere', with gravity pulling towards her down direction, the sky in this case is UP and thus correct. Out th...

Almost forgot the OP... I doubt that something as small as a TIE fighter, even one on fire would be bright enough to be seen so far away that the planet it is falling onto disappears completely while the other ships also vanish... or that the light wo...

The explosion would not produce enough light to be visible to the naked eye since it is occurring in a galaxy far far away, although it would take a long time for the light to travel here, so the timing may be accurate.

I just saw on "This Day In History" that it is the 10th anniversary of Pluto's demotion. :-( I'm Your Moon RIP Pluto, Rotate In Peace!
