it's not a meteor shower tonight is it? I just went outside for a few minutes and saw 4 in a row, all in different spots of the NE sky

it's probably not a meteor shower now, but post here whenever it is and we can discuss it here!

10/30/2008 11:54:34 PM

it'd be cool if it was

I'm bored

10/30/2008 11:55:21 PM

well I have pretty high visibility here, and the first two were really faint

so I don't know how successful it would be in Raleigh/Cary

10/30/2008 11:56:45 PM

10/30/2008 11:57:17 PM

i shaking like a dog right now sitting outside

10/30/2008 11:57:55 PM

Probably UFOs. I grew up in Pitt County and we spotted UFOs all the freakin' time. Seriously.

10/30/2008 11:58:02 PM

10/30/2008 11:58:37 PM

10/30/2008 11:59:09 PM

RD. You are in a great spot for sky watching. I have always attributed UFO sightings to the nearby military bases. And aliens.

10/31/2008 12:00:23 AM

10/31/2008 12:01:34 AM

says the peak of activity will be just after sunrise in the eastern US

oh well, i'll still be looking up around 2'ish hoping to see at least a few.

1/2/2009 10:24:28 PM

at like 3am how many should we be able to see per hour?

1/2/2009 10:25:14 PM

I've been seeing 3-5 a minute each of the past 2 nights.

"at greatest activity, Quadrantid rates will likely range from 30 to 60 per hour for eastern parts of the U.S. and Canada"

1/2/2009 10:29:30 PM

30-60 per hour? that can't be right. That's less than one a minute. I've seen more than that the last couple of nights and that was supposed to be before the peak.

1/2/2009 10:33:24 PM

it's cloudy here

1/2/2009 10:34:23 PM

is this the one that's supposed to peak Jan 3

[Edited on January 2, 2009 at 10:36 PM. Reason : so it is]

1/2/2009 10:36:25 PM

1/3/2009 1:44:06 AM

"A dense fog advisory remains in effect until 9 am EST this morning. Dense fog covers a large part of central North Carolina early this morning. The visibility is expected to remain poor through mid morning. The visibility should begin to improve after 9 am. Across the northern Piedmont...the dense fog combined with temperatures hovering near freezing may cause slick spots to develop on roadways especially bridges and overpasses."

1/3/2009 4:19:47 AM

fuck you southern Alabama. fuck you and your fog every time something cool happens

1/3/2009 4:45:26 AM

it was kinda clear lastnight

but I went out for 5 minutes and didn't see anything, so I gave up

1/3/2009 12:10:14 PM

I've never seen them in daylight but there were 5 of so in the western sky about 30 minutes ago. I hope it stays clear enough to see them tonight.

1/3/2009 5:29:55 PM

might try to see some today...think i saw 3 or 4 lastnight

1/3/2009 5:34:34 PM
