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.

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.

12-13 tons? I had no idea.
