Hey guys,

Tonight and Tomorrow night will be the Perseid meteor shower. This is visible all over the world, so if you want to check it out, the best viewing time is after Midnight, your local time!

So, go out and have a look. Let us know anything you see.

Happy Hunting!

Lol, someone has been using too much Twitter

Edit:
So the Shower here is a bust, the Skies are now clouded, and since im in the Middle of the city, the light pollution is annoying as hell. 1am currently.

I do believe i might have seen a Meteor, but im not sure if it was just a light reflection.

Hope everyone else's hunt goes off better.

How late is it starting? The sky is clear now

Scratch that. The skies have opened, and omg they are everywhere! It's like fireflies in the night sky! Sure the light pollution is ruining it, and its not as clear, but you can see them!

Nah. But I suspect someone else using Twitter.
Not even a hint "Follow me"... lulz

YESSS!

SRO Meteor Shower?

Thats ice dude!

Went out and watched it for a bit. In a 15-20 minute time frame we(my sister and I) counted exactly 14 meteors/shooting stars, whatever they're called.

Well,

Tonight for me, is the last night of the Shower, hopefully its more eventful than yesterday. Although with the Shower, and then the Earthquake.. Maybe i want it to be more calm.

i've watched for about 30 minutes now.
I've seen exactly 11 meteors so far, my window actualy offers a prtty perfect point of view.
The sky is partly cloudy though, and everyone has their lights on.
*only now does that idiot at the end of the street annoy me, his home is like a fcking christmas tree, it lights up like hell*

None the less, its pretty beauitfull to see.

i've never actually gone outside to watch a meteor shower before...hm...

not missing much

This is so much better out on a lake away from civilization. Unfortunately I had to work and couldn't go out this year.

How to get a girl to fall for you:

Literally make her see stars falling when you make your move.

That's what I did and I'm damn proud of it. Couldn't have planned it better.

Dinner for two, fortune cookies that says your love is in front of you, snuggling in a dark forest, moment we kissed we looked up and a meteor shower started. Epic...
