Moderators dtel Posted October 20, 2012 Moderators Share Posted October 20, 2012 Orionids meteor showers tonight between 11 and 540 am Pacific time, and with no moon tonight it should be easier to see. From experience, and being old it is much more comfortable to lay out or at least lounge in a lounge chair, sure beats bending your neck. [Y] http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/watch-orionids-meteor-showers-weekend-214213383.html "Bill Cooke, the head of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office, noted in a statement, "With no Moon to spoil the show, observing conditions should be ideal." He added, "The Orionid meteor shower isn't the strongest, but it is one of the most beautiful showers of the year." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerolW Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I usually enjoy all the yearly showers. It'sraining here in the Portland area and will be for the next week. So, I'm out of luck this year. Thanks for the headsup, though. jerol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
