AMAZING view of the recently launched StarLink satellites this evening. Super bright, I’ve never seen anything like that. Was driving as they headed right at me from the west, I had to pull over and check it out.

Where r u?

Still in prison?

Leonids Meteor shower is this weekend. They're not as plentiful as the perseids, but tend to be a little brighter. If you go to some dark skies and look up you might catch a few bright ones radiating in all directions from Leo. Observation is best after midnight. Just go and look up!

If they're radiating on all directions does that mean theyre headed right towards us? Or is God whippin his dick around when he passes his kidney stones?

The earth is basically crossing an intersection. The cross street is generally tiny pebbles or dust going at high velocity the other way. From the perspective of the drivers seat, all impacts on your car hit from the same direction. In this case, the constellation Leo is the point at which the meteors come from. They will go in all directions from that constellation as a starting point. In other words if you trace back each Meteor you see they all come from the same point.

Earth moves through meteoroid streams left from passages of a comet. The streams comprise of solid particles, known as meteoroids, normally ejected by the comet as its frozen gases evaporate under the heat of the Sun when it is near the Sun – typically closer than Jupiter's orbit. Due to the retrograde orbit of 55P/Tempel–Tuttle, the Leonids are fast moving streams which encounter the path of Earth and impact at 70 km/s (43 mi/s).[3] It is the fastest annual meteor shower.[3] Larger Leonids which are about 10 mm (0.4 in) across have a mass of 0.5 g (0.02 oz) and are known for generating bright (apparent magnitude −1.5) meteors.[7] An annual Leonid shower may deposit 12 or 13 tons of particles across the entire planet.


12-13 tons? I had no idea.

voyager is outside of our solar system, 15 billion miles out, yet the sun still lights it up 15 times brighter than a full moon on earth

my car gets hit from all different directions though
