This was one of the brightest meteors I saw on the morning of August 12, 2009. The camcorder didn’t pick it up too well, but my still camera captured it no problem (even though the wide angle lens made it seem rather small in the sky). I had both cameras facing roughly the same direction (northwest, about 300 degrees and pointed up around 70 degrees). This was recorded in Milwaukee, WI at 01:29 AM local time, or 06:29 UTC.

In the night from December 13. to 14. is the peak of the geminids Meteor Shower 2009. This is the most reliable meteor shower. There will be now interference by the moon this year (New Moon). This meteor shower is named after “Gemini” (the twins) because it appears to radiate from the constellation Gemini. An observer in the Northern Hemisphere can start seeing Geminids meteors around Dec 7th, when one meteor every hour or so could be visible. During the next 7 days, there is a slow build-up. The Geminids rapidly increase to a peak of 80-150 meteors per hour (depending on the source) in the night from Dec 13 to 14 and then rapidly decline. The last night meteors are likely to be seen from this meteor shower is Dec 17th, when an observer might see a Perseid every hour or so. For observers in the Southern Hemisphere, the Perseid radiant never climbs above the horizon, which will considerably reduce the number of Perseid meteors you are likely to see. Nevertheless, on the night of maximum, it is possible to see 10-15 meteors per hour coming up from the northern horizon. ++++++ Please sub to newburyas for more information www.youtube.com www.twitter.com ++++++ Meteorwatch on Twitter newburyas: twitter.com guardianscience twitter.com astronomy2009uk twitter.com Tag: #meteorwatch ++++++ LINKS NASA: science.nasa.gov ESA: www.esa.int nationalgeographic: news.nationalgeographic.com MSNBC: www.msnbc.msn.com Wired: www.wired.com Meteorshowers: meteorshowersonline.com Meteor Shower …

Today is the peak of the perceids meteor shower of 2009. This is the most famous of all meteor showers. It never fails to provide an impressive display and, due to its summertime appearance, it tends to provide the majority of meteors seen by non-astronomy enthusiasts. This meteor shower gets the name “Perseids” because it appears to radiate from the constellation Perseus. An observer in the Northern Hemisphere can start seeing Perseid meteors as early as July 23, when one meteor every hour …
