The other night I saw a meteor travelling straight upwards, low in the east. It got no higher than about 45*. I'd never seen this before but assume that's my inexperience. I also saw a few other thin meteors and a thick one that seemed to end in a flash. Years ago I saw a flaming one going straight down from about 45* again,  seemingly to the ground. We were camping and wondered if we'd read about a crash when back in civilization! An astronomer told us years later it was probably a fireball

I've got a pair of skiing trousers and thermals underneath. Might try a hot water bottle next time too!

In the 70s they were continental quilts I remember....

They should drop the word security and change it to nuisance lighting, we have an old folks home that has two of these led 'security lights' that shine straight at our house for why?

 

insecurity lights or just don'tcare lights, so annoying

Has anyone been to Stoke barton campsite at Hartland? I'm thinking of going since it's pretty dark there according to the light pollution map. Shuts in october though, but it looks like i maybe could park my camper and image at/above Hartland Quay if there in winter...Most places probably booked up, my van in for repairs- it remains a dream...

Hello, could it be electric trains?

When I lived in London they Flashed as I wandered by night.

It is surely annoying for twins from Thailand. When I was there none of the cats looked like Siamese cats, though they obviously were.

The problem is either misnaming or words used as insults by some,  this shows astronomy is becoming more popular in more places and it's all about not turning people off getting into it.

Should all telescopes come in plain packaging like fag packets.....
