A selection of last night's Perseids over London. One of the best nights I can remember.

(Also, I'm in inner London and can get shots like this!)

We were watching the Perseid meteor shower.
First there were moths...until the outside light switched off & the sensor got taped.
Next there were the planes going into the nearest airport in another county & higher planes going further.
With patience, whoosh, a smattering of feint meteors.
Tens, maybe hundreds of non-geostationary satallites. A massive increase since we last did this.
Finally, 'fireworks'.

The next time a total solar eclipse will coincide with the peak of the #Perseids meteor shower will be August 12, 2045. That eclipse will cross North America from Eureka, California to Jupiter, Florida then into the Caribbean and equatorial South America. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_12,_2045 #eclipse #SolarEclipse2026😎 #TotalSolarEclipse⚫️️ #astronomy👀 #space #spacegeek #meteors #LowFlyingRocks

If there's one thing that watching the sky to see meteors has taught me, its that we have way too many satelites in orbit #Space #Satelites #Meteors

#SolarEclipse2026😎 #TotalSolarEclipse⚫️ is over. I have to ask since this eclipse coincides with the annual August 12 peak of the #Perseids meteor shower... Did anyone see meteors during totality? It's a long shot because totality only dims to civil or nautical twilight. So only the bigger meteors would be visible. But it's possible. At 100 meteors/hour, maybe 1-2 during 2 minutes of totality. Had to ask. #astronomy 👀 #space #spacegeek #meteors #LowFlyingRocks

The #Perseids are coming! The Perseids are coming!

The Perseids meteor shower will be tossing rocks through the sky the entire month of August, but will peak the 12th and 13th — this week.

> Perseid meteor shower 2026! It’s time to watch. https://earthsky.org/astronomy-essentials/everything-you-need-to-know-perseid-meteor-shower/

And this year the peak happens on a New Moon! Prime viewing conditions if the weather is clear. So find yourself a place with dark skies and start making plans.

(I live in a place with dark skies.)

What To Watch On YouTube Right Now – Part 149

Welcome back my readers, YouTube viewers and all others who followed this series of articles focused on YouTube videos worth watching.

Have you been searching for something fun or interesting to watch on YouTube? Do you feel bored right now and you crave for something to see on the world’s most popular online video destination?

I recommend you check out the following videos I found.

#1 A Look At The Johnson County War – If you have seen the 1980 movie Heaven’s Gate, then you have been exposed to the Johnson County War which was a ranger war in the state of Wyoming that happened from 1889 to 1893. What the movie showed, however, was a historical fiction presentation and it could not be taken seriously as a reference of American history. To learn about the Johnson County War with historical attention, watch the video below.

https://youtu.be/6oDaH-AR8Bs?si=MY4ra5B8zRR90jWr

#2 Popcorn in Bed Reacts To U-571 – Speaking of historical fiction, have you seen the movie U-571? When that movie was released in 2000, it only reminded me of other submarine movies like Das Boot, The Hunt For Red October and Crimson Tide. The movie directed by Jonathan Mostow and starring Matthew McConaughey made a lot of buzz when it opened at #1 in the American box office and that success influenced a lot of moviegoers here in the Philippines to watch it in local cinemas. I never saw U-571 but I noticed how much of an impact it had on Popcorn in Bed’s reaction video which I encourage you to watch.

https://youtu.be/S94niicK8Xw?si=T3xWWokhyEcwyGdl

#3 Japan Pushes Back Against Islam – There is a disturbing trend that has been happening in Japan that their local media and the international news organizations are not telling you…the Islamic foreigners there have been causing a series of disturbances such as occupying public spaces for Muslim prayers/gatherings, littering, rape, the construction of an illegal mosque and more. That said, there are lots of Japanese nationalists and concerned citizens who are fighting back and expressing demands and complaints to their government officials. It is clear that the Muslim foreigners there in Japan have this collective mindset of conquering Japan, violating the Japanese and gaining power under the guise of multiculturalism and political correctness. Watch the videos below.

https://youtu.be/rYaPdERFf7I?si=Q0lkfUbm7MXuxs2F

#4 The Relevance Of The 1990s – Remember how unique the 1990s was when it comes to the evolution of technology, the marketing of products, the gradual transformation of pop culture in America and the like? There was indeed something special about the said decade which explains the driving force behind the Millennials’ nostalgia about it. To find out more, watch the video below.

https://youtu.be/gROvtZw0mz0?si=yLrvmcAvGRBu-P2V

#5 When Hollywood Released Two Similar Movies In 1998 – Way back in 1998, moviegoers worldwide saw two movies from Hollywood that had similar concepts about the world getting hit by something from deep space. The movies were Deep Impact and Armageddon, and they were released in the same summer box office season in America. Deep Impact was more dramatic and tried hard to be believable while Armageddon was highly exaggerated and had Michael Bay’s flair all over it. The two films were released at a time when disaster movies had a resurgence and they used computer-generated images to make realize their respective visual concepts. I find an analytical video about the two 1998 movies and I encourage you all to watch it.

https://youtu.be/5T6NMEdu70k?si=TnFON8N9JbI189RA

#6 You, Me And The Movies React To Ghost In The Shell (1995) – There are many reasons why the 1995 anime feature film Ghost in the Shell is very significant. The adaptation of Masamune Shirow’s literary Ghost in the Shell was made with very high production values under the direction of Mamoru Oshii, the story had many futuristic concepts that became very relevant today, and it was very influential for many Hollywood filmmakers. That said, I liked how the anime feature film drew reactions from You, Me and the Movies, and their reaction video is a must-see!

https://youtu.be/4Q_G6zObECg?si=CEgIjpaJl0WlbI64

#7 Casablanca Reaction Video Of EOM Reacts – There is nothing like watching a classic, black-and-white movie like Casablanca. Set in French Morocco, the story follows many characters dealing with the uncertainty of war and it is inside the nightclub and gambling den of American expatriate Rick Blaine where a lot of developments happened. The 1942 movie is memorable with its top-notch stars (Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman are phenomenal), the dramatic plot, the immersive settings and many iconic lines and moments. I have seen the movie a few times already on 4K Blu-ray format and I enjoyed watching EOM Reacts’ video of it. Go watch his video below.

#8 Soba Getting Reinvented In Japan – Soba – a Japanese noodle made from buckwheat flour – is getting reinvented in Japan as the traditional shops there are struggling with the rising costs of ingredients as well as a growing shortage of successors to the operators. In an effort to stay in business while avoiding raising prices, the surviving soba restaurants (and some new ones) there are reinventing the dining experience and doing other things to preserve the traditional soba culture. Watch and learn from the video below.

https://youtu.be/6SL5yzs5-o4?si=yPucu2ALaUy_h2-a

#9 Ranting For Vengeance Slams Zach Cregger And His Resident Evil Movie – As some of you already know, there is another new live-action movie of Resident Evil coming out soon and the early previews showed very little connections with the Resident Evil games of Capcom. Actor Zach Cregger is the director and co-writer of the new Resident Evil movie and Ranting for Vengeance slammed him hard in his recent YouTube video. Not only that, the YouTuber also backed up his criticism on Cregger and the 2026 Resident Evil movie with facts and details that you have to see. That said, go watch his video below and pay close attention to the details.

https://youtu.be/R5ALrwYsd78?si=WN0icx4lPk9UNTp8

#10 Atari Jaguar CD Revisited – While I played a lot of games of Atari (both on Atari 2600 console and arcade games) in my life, I never owned an Atari Jaguar nor its CD-ROM add-on device. Indeed, there was a time in the 1990s when Atari got back in console gaming starting with the Jaguar console that operated with games in cartridge format. A short time later, the add-on Atari Jaguar CD was released and it looked like a toilet with the lid open. To learn more about the Atari Jaguar CD, watch the retro gaming video below.

Spain to see its first total solar eclipse in more than a century.

Mainland Spain is about to get its first total solar eclipse in more than 100 years, with the path of totality also touching Iceland and Greenland on 12 August.

Add a crescendoing meteor shower and a six-planet parade on the same day, and the heavens will be overflowing with spectacle.

Next year’s show will last even longer.
