Meteor Shower Tonight! First of Its Kind, Could Be Big!

430 views

ANTICIPATION BUILDS FOR TONIGHT'S METEOR SHOWER: This weekend, Earth will pass through a stream of debris from Comet 209P/LINEAR. If forecasters are correct, the encounter could produce an outburst of bright meteors numbering more than 200 per hour. Most models agree that peak rates should occur between the hours of 0600 UT and 0800 UT (2 a.m. and 4 a.m. EDT) on Saturday morning, May 24th, a time frame that favors observers in North America. It is worth noting, however, that Earth has never encountered this stream of debris before, so forecasters cannot be certain of their predictions. The display could be a complete dud, a fantastic 'meteor storm,' or anything in between. Whatever happens, NASA plans to chat about it.

  • Watch Perseid Meteor Shower 2014 Celebrated in Monday
    Perseid Meteor Shower 2014 Celebrated in Monday's Google Doodle

    An annual celestial event is the latest topic of Monday's Google doodle. The ongoing Perseid meteor shower has inspired a doodle that shows viewers shooting stars across an ever-changing sky. Unlike some quirky doodles, this one is a short video clip with pleasant music playing in the background.

    The sky takes various colours, which resembles an aurora, while shooting stars are seen in the animated video clip. The doodle almost feels like the view from the window of a fast-moving vehicle.

    The Perseid meteor shower is linked to the comet Swift-Tuttle. Perseids have derived their name due to the radiant they appear to arrive from. This radiant is in the Perseus constellation - named after a character in Greek mythology. Belgian astronomer Adolphe Quetelet is credited with discovering this meteor shower in 1835.

    This celestial event can be seen from mid-July each year, primarily in the northern hemisphere. The Perseid meteor shower is at its most prominent between August 9 and 14, which explains the timing of this doodle.

    The Perseid meteor shower doodle was designed by Sophie Diao, who drew inspiration from 'travel and time-lapse footage documenting meteor showers'. In a short Q&A posted on Google's doodle archive, Diao says she was inspired by long drives, trips to national parks and space. Regarding her research for this doodle, Diao says, 'Most of my research involved watching actual tim

    Perseid Meteor Shower 2014: Google Doodle marks one of the great celestial light shows

    The annual Perseid meteor shower is known as the 'fireball champion' of meteor showers.



    Google has marked the arrival of one of the great celestial displays, the Perseid Meteor Shower, with an animated Doodle on its homepage.
    The Doodle when clicked shows a short film of meteors dashing through the night sky against a variety of backdrops.

    The annual Perseid meteor shower - known as the 'fireball champion' of meteor showers - happens every August and is caused by the massive Swift-Tuttle comet losing parts of its celestial body as it enters the inner solar system.

    The Perseid shower is so-called because they appear to come from the radiant which lies in the constellation Perseus.

    Observation of the spectacle is ancient, with the earliest information on this meteor shower found in Chinese annals in A.D. 36.

    The meteor shower is often referred to, particularly by Catholics as the 'tears of St. Lawrence', as 10 August is the date of that saint's martyrdom.

    Given a dark, clear sky it is often common to see more than 100 of the meteors an hour during the second week in August.

    This year the famous meteor shower was accompanied by the lunar phenomenon of a supermoon.

    The moon appeared 14% bigger and 30% brighter than normal as it reached the point in its orbit closest to the Earth, known as 'perigee&q
