Hi Bernd, Greg, and List... Hope everyone got at least a glimpse of the show last night. Here in northern California the viewing was perfect, Jupiter and moons were a nice opening act, and the main attraction was spectacular...2 and 3 second meteor "laser beams" across the sky, several large, nice bolides, and a couple of fascinating skips across the atmosphere. Thanks to everyone for the around the globe updates! All the best, Jessica

That's about 20-25 Perseids per hour.Congratulations on such a large number of Perseids! By the way, at 59 km/s, the Perseids belong to the fastest moving meteors. The Southern Taurids, by contrast, are relatively slow: => 27 km/s (only :-) Best wishes, Bernd ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
