perseid meteor shower

Postby nihility00 » Thu Aug 13, 2015 1:07 am

Happening from 17th of Aug till the 24th. Saw a massive one tonight as big as a 5p coin that left a huge vapour trail after it had burnt up. Anyone else seen anything?

Saw a few last night in the 5 minutes it takes to have a smoke. Surprisingly bright considering we're just over the fence from the M1 and some roadworks had huge floodlights up.

Not seen them for a couple of years now. Meant to watch last night, but I forgot. :(
