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'.#PerseidMeteorShower #Perseid #meteors #nightsky #space #astronomy #shootingstars

Some pics I took on my walk last night.
I'm reminded of this song: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Yfg3KtNTa7o

A few impressions from yesterday evening and last night. We stayed out in a field far from the villages until almost midnight and saw some bright shooting stars. A perfectly successful evening and a really nice family event with a picnic!
(The photos were all taken with my smartphone. The eclipse glasses came with a small filter card to hold in front of the lens. It worked surprisingly well!)

Being on a Greek island for vacation and there’s nothing like the night breeze. Always a great surprise to be able to watch the stars from your balcony.

After the solar eclipse, now hoping for some luck with the Perseids. An astronomical evening and the kids are loving every minute!

Végül is, a lencsén tükröződésből legalább látom.

Mivel, semmi szemüvegem nincs, ezért marad az, hogy faszt sem látok, csak annyit, hogy sötét lesz valamikor.

Last weekend we were talking about the Space Mirror Reflect Orbital wants to put in orbit. And we suddenly remembered that the Donald Duck comic books we grew up with had a story where Dagobert Duck (Scrooge McDuck) shoots a mirror into space to light up his factories to make more money, that ends up getting hijacked and turned into a laser by the comic books recurring bad guys. From 1989

💁🏻♀️ 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.

IC2574: Coddington's (not-)Nebula
It's like galaxy season all in one
Discovered by Edwin Coddington in 1898, IC2574 not a nebula but a dwarf spiral galaxy, an outlying member of the M81 group nearly 4Mpc away in Ursa Major - and, unexpectedly, about 90% of its mass is in the form of dark matter.
Prints, cards and more are available via the website: https://shiny.photo/photo/IC2574--Coddington-s--not--Nebula-1214ff2b2281218edbcda0216406bcb5

My first perspective shattering night sky was as a young teenager driving with my dad from Adelaide to Sydney.
We stopped in the middle of the Hay Plain and I'll never forget that WOW feeling, stars so bright horizon to horizon

How many of us have been — or, perhaps wish we had been — up on a peak like this under the most ancient and primordial sky that fired the imagination of an ancestor and, as if calling out to their spirits out there somewhere, asked a "Question to the Stars"...

The Moon Takes the Bow: The Longest Fight in the Sky, Scored on Love, Fear, Respect, and Attention
Two fighters have been circling each other since before anyone kept records, and the purse has never changed hands: the human gaze. In one corner burns a furnace so vast that something like a million Earths could rattle around inside it, the engine behind every green leaf and every heartbeat on this planet. In the other corner floats a charcoal-colored rock, airless and dead, throwing back about twelve percent of the light that hits it. On paper the match is a slaughter. In practice the rock has been taking rounds for ten thousand years, and the strangest fact on the whole card is a matter of scheduling, since only one of these two shows up for both shifts. […] -

"Special care must also be taken in this newest space race to ensure that we do not end up overrunning Earth orbit and ruining one of Earth’s greatest natural resources for the gain of few."
