Sky watchers in North America could witness a new meteor shower on May 24th when, for the first time, Earth passes through a cloud of dust from periodic comet 209P/LINEAR. - Наука та технологія
I read about it a few months ago, and I'm really looking forward to it
can't miss this one!!!
I am certainly going to look up!!!
Coffee, bug spray, drive away from town. I'm ready!
And for me in canada warm clothing :)
Oh! Canada
Go nasa go nasa
The video indicates that West Coast time is 2 hrs before East Coast time. Is this correct? Shouldn't the West Coast peak viewing time be 11:00pm - 1:00am? The video also shows all time zones as EDT.
take 3hrs off east coast time to get west coast time.
The West Coast is 3 hours before the East Coast because of Daylight Savings Time from April to November and 2 hours from November to April.
we're getting one tonight
Whats up with Europe ? which time should we expect the high rate? (germany)
May 24 going to be an awesome day sure hope that it isn't a false alarm.
What about the may5/6 shower ?
what about the golden shower ?
Will it be visible from QLD BRISBANE?, what time at night or
morning if so?.
Que pena que não entendo o ingles.
- Mas uma excelente materia.
It is cloudy in the West Coast. Doubt we will see this.
Will this be visible from South Africa ?
Cosmic must sky watch....
This is the type of thing that turns people into zombies....
What time is the meteor
I find this shit out da day after lmfao
Не заметил ни одного камелопардида, но всё-равно было очень интересно!
So, at which time should i go out in middle europe (germany) then to see the most? ^^
Go out on the night of 23rd - 24th. The peak is predicted for 0700 - 0900 CET on the 24th, so from Central Europe you should see more meteors in the early hours of the morning before dawn.

The peak is obviously in daylight for Germany, but you may see something in the early morning hours building up to it.
I love NASA!!!!!
Is this the location where I can find out dates & times of METER Information?
11pm or 12am or 1/2am -4am i think
jamie brooks idk the locations
ok, so just to be sure I don't sit outside all night the day before it's the night of the 23rd leading into the 24th? or is it the 24th to 25th
Look out on the night of Friday 23rd - Saturday 24th. The peak is in the early hours of the 24th.
bikenbeer2000 wich is about to start lol its 10:57pm in georgia so hopefully i get to see it from my gma's house :)

How did you get on? I saw one meteor in 15 minutes before it got cloudy. But I'm in England and it was a few hours earlier than the predicted peak.
SHOW
I only saw 2 meteors. Was very disappointed. 😞
Same here, and they were strays. We did some good observing with telescopes and binoculars, so it was not a total waste but the pro's laid an egg on this one. We had three Astronomy clubs observing from sundown till 4:00AM.
John Sparks That is crazy. You know it's bad when three Astronomy clubs can't see anything. It's like they dangled something cool in front of us and then took it away and said "Just kidding".
Hi, from Ukraine! :)
Never mind lol
i got hit in the head by one !
COOL! cant wait its 10:51pm in georgia and its kinda cloudly but hopefully we can see it but im chillin wit he grandma but it wont hit earth dont be scared i know im only 10 and my birthday in like 2weeks so the world wont end... it will but no one knows when maybe in a billion/million years but this is gonna be a pretty show but i might go to sleep bc im kinda tired |-)so some need to keep me posted :) but METEOR OR NOT I DONT CARE AS LONG AS WE PRAY FOR ANOTHER DAY :)
but is it going to hit earth??
More like earth with run into the path of dust left behind by the comet that passed the earth back in the 1800's... We move through all kinds of things in space... Most likely it will just be a pretty show..... We are in no more or no less danger than we are at any other point in time.. Most events like this have happened in the past without humans knowing they are coming. .... It just seems more scary because we can see some of this stuff coming now.... Just like getting a shot.. you worry more when you know its coming.. Should be a fun show :D
i doubt it just the earth passin threw dust like he said above ^^^
I was explaining the official story lol.... But yeah... I you want to speculate there could be a meteor storm
ya it hit
it did im still alive
WERE ALL GONNA DIE!!
ugh no were not its just earth passing threw dust of debris so we wont die we just might have a meteor storm/shower and its just gonna be ''SHOOTING STARS'' OK so calm down Lol i thought the same thing :P and its 11:02pm in georgia so its about to start :)
jamie brooks PLUS ITS GONNA BE A REALLY PRETTY SHOW :D *hopefully not a lame show -.- *
jamie brooks I was totally joking but I hope you enjoy and it looks great in Georgia.
