Tim_Lou Posted January 1, 2005 Report Posted January 1, 2005 if you missed the last meteor shower, here is your chance! http://www.spaceweather.com/meteors/quadrantids/quadrantids.html "peaks on Monday morning, January 3rd, at 4:20 am PST (12:20 GMT). Observers in western parts of North America are favored. During the hours before dawn they might see dozens to hundreds of shooting stars." but"Another reason is brevity. The shower doesn't last long, only a few hours"Monday morning! this meteor shower clearly isnt for me to watch... :)
IrishEyes Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 Thanks for the info, Tim.The link was full of some great info. Seems the skies will be very busy the next few days.Meteor showers, a green comet, the ISS, and a doule planet visiblility that includes Venus and MErcury!! My son is jumping out of his skin. PLUS, the weather is so perfect, it feels like April instead of January, so we won't freeze when we're out there staring into space.
Tim_Lou Posted January 2, 2005 Author Report Posted January 2, 2005 Man, i so wanna have a telescope and have some fun. hey, Irish, how much did the telescope present cost for your son?if its cheap enough, maybe i can have one.
IrishEyes Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 hey, Irish, how much did the telescope present cost for your son?Hey Tim - maybe you should add your birthday to your forum profile, and remember my maternal tendencies, huh? Also remember that time spent away from the forums for me usually means time spent trading on ebay. I don't pay retail for anything. :)
Tim_Lou Posted January 3, 2005 Author Report Posted January 3, 2005 a search from google... i found out that the price ranged from 20 bucks to over 200... hehe, my mom is gonna give me $100 for the comin Chinese New Year, looks like i got a chance! (opps, forgot to add my info in the new forum profile.... now its done.)
