#meteorshower — Public Fediverse posts

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🌠🔭 During the annual #Perseid #meteorshower, streaks of #light flash across the dark night #sky.

Astronomers explain that these #shootingstars occur when #Earth moves through the icy debris left by #comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle. Clear skies and a moonless night will make the glowing fireballs visible between midnight and dawn.

Multiple #fireballs falling on earth right now are very likely the "debris field" of #3iAtlas

Earth is currently passing through the area of the plane of ecliptic that 3iAtlas passed through.

#NASA of course is supporting all the other 50 #anomalies about that "#comet" by outright lying that "we usually get this many meteors around this time" - the fireballs are not part of any #meteorshower this is #Anomalous

I stayed out the other night to capture this timelapse of the geminids.
