May’s Dazzling Meteor Shower Is Reaching Its Peak Tonight– Here’s How to Catch It. 30 meteors per hour

The Eta Aquarids produce a few more fireballs than most showers, but most of the meteors are relatively faint. As the vast majority of Americans live where even 5th magnitude stars are invisible due to light pollution, most people will sadly see little or nothing.

About 25% of the light pollution in populated areas comes from vehicle headlights, but the lion’s share comes from poorly designed lighting fixtures and obscenities like digital LED billboards. It’s quite sad that people who would never even think of dumping trash by the side of the road, or operating a car that smokes, will blithely send millions of lumens of light skywards without the least bit of regard or compunction.

Thanks OP, too bad rain and cloud cover due for my area. 5*

Same here, very stormy in Oklahoma, wouldn't you know it.

5 stars and green, OP

Thread: Why is no one talking about the asteroid that NASA said would hit Earth on May 6th?

Interesting coincidence

0:57 Magnetic dust falling from the sky after red sky

This ^ points to an intense meteor shower. Meteors have a high content of iron and iron oxide is red!
I would expect another epidemic starting there shortly.

If you think I'm going to crane my neck up to the sky and stare for two minutes or more just to maybe see a faint little flash of light, you're a retard
