Meteor shower tonight.

Will anyone - apart from me - be watching out for this tonight?

Depends what time it is. I have stayed up many times in the freezing cold just to see one or two.

I'm not even sure if it is clear out or not.

Re: Meteor shower tonight.

I used to see lots of good meteors doing astronomy many years ago. I'm not going out but wife went out to fetch fire logs and said it's cold and starry , she hasn't put them on the bloody fire yet though .

It is clear here at the moment, Dongles. Just been out to fetch some shopping for a poorly neighbour - and the sky is cloud free. Apparently - the best time to see the meteors is tomorrow morning - an hour before sunrise - so about 7:00am. But they should be visible throughout the night.

Well ... they were very bright and beautiful at about 3:45am - it has become cloudy now - so they are no longer visible here.
