the sky & Beyond: 9/29/24 mini Moon dble header

[Watery Star]

I just heard about it! I'm setting a reminder for tomorrow. (on the off chance I can get to the backyard to spot it)

I looked out tonight and it looks like one star with the naked eye but looking with a good pair of binnoculars or camera you can see it is two and I was lucky enough to see Jupiter's moons as well!

I am going to try and take pictures tomorrow as well with the camera on the tripod. It sets pretty early so for me around 6 pm was good, for you it might be earlier?

I hope it's later for me as I wake up at 8:30-ish at night

Tonight I set the camera on manual and was able to see a ring around Saturn Unfortunately can't focus too good with the camera to get a clear picture.

It should still be around for a few days as they start to draw apart.

Had to rush last night so I didn't have the chance

[Lemon Cheesecake]

oh well, youcan catch photo's on the internet. Full moon the other night was beautiful!

[npixelz]

True. No u

There is going to be a meteor shower early Sunday morning...6 am PST ... but I plan on being in bed asleep!

[npixelz]

Oh dear, two meteors will fall from the sky, and the government will try to stop them with missiles.

Between midnight and 6am in Europe. I won't be able to see it anyways.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

There will be more meteor showers which we will be able to view. I tend to find I rarely see them anyway.

I had a dream about meteors

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Was it cool? Were they showering down or was it scary like a scifi movie???

[npixelz]

They were big. First meteor hit and caused a big crater. I was visiting family friends with my family (although they weren't real people), and we decided to go see the second meteor for some reason, as it had not landed yet. I did not think it a good idea, but I didn't do anything about it. On the ride I saw a few large missiles being launched towards it by the government presumably. There was a beach that was the border, no one was allowed past the beach for fear of being caught in the blast. We stopped just before a blue tube that led to the beach. I was then woken up before anything happened.

Sounds like a scifi movie although if the meteors were that big there probably would have been earthquakes or tsunami's.

I think that missle's are a possible solution if meteors get too close, try to break them smaller.. Thankfully the atmosphere protects us from small meteors but that is not foolproof.
