The Telegraph promised us a "fireworks display" but all we saw was a damp squib!

Sorry but because some of them (meteors) are so small you think your eyes are playing tricks with you. If you have an old fashioned camera, place it looking straight up and set the shutter constantly open for an hour. The picture should then show the meteors that you miss. ATB ![]() |

For anyone that saw the ISS go over just a short time ago there was also a cracking good shooting star (meteor) just after. ![]() |

Anyone know what happened to the telescope from the top of the Technical College in the Butts? |

I don't know if this has been mentioned before but the website heavens-above.com gives the exact time and position of upcoming ISS flypasts. You need to enter your position (I just typed Tile Hill) and then click on ISS for the next 10 days data. The brightness figure needs to be -2 or less to be visible with the naked eye, and of course it needs to be a cloud free sky. The site also gives similar times for the Chinese and Korean satellites but these are much fainter. There are also Iridium flares that can be very bright but require some luck as they are short lived.
You may also be interested in the picture of Earth on this page (figure 2), taken by the Cassini orbiter over a billion km away beyond Saturn. You can't quite make out Coventry though. |
