#perseids — Public Fediverse posts

Tonight is the peak of the #Geminids meteor shower, the biggest meteor shower after the #Perseids. Sadly, most of Germany will be covered by low clouds. I’ll try my luck about two hours north of Frankfurt. The forecast looks decent for the early morning hours.

📷 : I took this photo last year during the Perseids meteor shower.

If you're up before the sun this week, check in on the Eastern sky before dawn to see Venus and Jupiter, they will be in conjunction on Tuesday before dawn, they are joined this week with the constellations Orion and Taurus. Use the three stars in Orion's belt to draw an imaginary line towards the horizon to find the bright star Sirius.

If you're going to stargaze just after sunset this week check out the Western sky for the bright star Arcturus.

There's a meteor shower (Perseid) this week peaking on Monday night going into Tuesday, the Moon is pretty bight and won't set until after dawn, so maybe you'll see a few or maybe not? I hate to try to predict really.

Here are the all night track-stacks from our 4 #GMN #MeteorCameras in Oxfordshire overnight 12th/13th August 2024. You can clearly see the #Perseids radiant on UK002F. We had 3,360 matched events across the #UKMeteorNetwork that night! #Perseids2024 #MeteorShower #Meteors

A brighter than normal horizon with the slightest hint of red to the naked eye, but the unmistakable glow of the #northernlights was revealed with a 4 second exposure in #Penarth last night. Throw in some #perseids and you have a wonderful night under the stars! #aurora #astronomy

We had 2,301 matched #Meteors last night across the UK Meteor Network, many #Perseids! Our 4 #GMN #MeteorCameras in #Oxfordshire picked up loads because they're very sensitive, but visually we were seeing about 20 per hour. The radiant is very apparent on these track-stacks! #PerseidsMeteorShower #MeteorShower

🇷🇺 #TASS The Lunar dust monitor registered a #meteoroid ☄️ impact 🕳️ event, most likely as of the #Perseids #meteor shower. Capturing of two photo 📷 images increased the knowledge about the #spacecraft’s #orbit 🧭. https://tass.com/science/1662519

We had more clear sky than we expected last night in Oxfordshire, UK. We saw a good number of #Perseids visually including a nice #fireball + our #GMN #RaspberryPi #MeteorCameras captured well over 200 #Meteors each! Here are the track-stacks from each camera #PerseidsMeteorShower #MeteorShower

Fent familia, mirem de veure algun estel a Talamanca però sembla que no hi ha sort.

Deixo això aquí per si a algú li serveix.
Jo vaig llegir que demà és el dia, i suposo que cal deixar encara que passin unes hores per què Cassiopeia s'alci.

Another very busy night on our #GMN #MeteorCameras in Oxfordshire, UK on 8th August 2023. Lots of #Perseids but other minor shower #meteors too. Not a single one of these showed up on my 2,300 DSLR images! #PerseidMeteorShower #MeteorShower

A clear night on 6th/7th August meant we had a very busy night on all 4 of our #GMN #RaspberryPi #MeteorCameras in Oxfordshire, UK. These are the track-stacks from each camera. Dotted or squiggly lines are aircraft or moths in the same frame as a meteor. Plenty of #Perseids! #PerseidsMeteorShower #GlobalMeteorNetwork

Haha, this one image sent me down a rabbit hole of setting up a camping event for the #Perseids weekend, in combination with the #SamsonCreeNation pow wow. I think I've already done that 4 times now. Such a great combo!
