Shooting Stars

[sime42]

Did anyone see any last night? (Not the Vic and Bob version!). I saw 5, even from a garden towards the edge of a big city, so a pretty good show.  It would have been much better in a rural environment, without all the ambient light around. Perfect weather/climate for sitting outside at night.

I tried but there was this bloody great spotlight in the sky called a full moon

Sat out on the hammock for a couple of hours, saw a few but probably missed loads because herself woke me up not long after midnight to tell me it was time to go to sleep. Female logic.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that. It's nice to see a good moon but a bit annoying if you're trying to see anything else. I managed to hide it behind my lads climbing frame / wall last night.

Spectacular moonrise the night before. Sturgeon moon apparently whatever that means, didn't look tartan or anything.

Tried but full moon and neighbours music show drove me in. Did see one though.

I so one about 11,15 ish and TBH it was one of the best i have every seen, The moon was a fantastic sight last night as it looked very close and very detailed,,

Did anyone see a strange glowing light in the sky about midnight last night?

 

My missus was walking home and saw it with her friend.  She looked it up on the news this morning and it was a rocket apparently launched in the US that caused a strange orbital glow in the sky and was visible in lots of locations, inc Norway.
