Just read this on universe today that I subscribe to.... Haven't heard this anywhere else though, so don't shoot the messenger.... 😑

I've had this in my agenda for quite a while, happy to see the predictions made then could still be valid  I'll be up and watching!

Moon is just past "New" phase as well.    Fingers crossed.

Had this in my calendar for a few weeks, got a heads up here

Surprised the main stream media haven't picked up on this, perfect headlines abound in these reports. Still time though....

It is now on the pop ups when you go to Google. I'm hoping to be out at 12:00 or 12:30. 

Have to work tomorrow so I would be up at 2am any way.

Just the weather now needs to play ball. Good luck.

Cheers,

Be alert for more activity tonight. I've just observed a slow dim orange meteor which lines up with the radiant, and possibly a fireball, though it was behind a tree, so I can't be sure.

For what it's worth, my radio results working GRAVES are below. Main dust return from the 1995 breakup of Comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann was predicted for the early hours of 31st May (UT) and this shows well on my heat map. A second dust stream produced from the normal 1897 return of 73P was also encountered this year, predicted for around 10h UT and again caught on heat map.

Regards to all,
