Wow, Meteor Detection Live View quite active/updates
page: 3share:
It's not working at the moment obviously.
There is an alternative way to monitor meteor activity if you click here however.

It appears to be working again now.
Should it fail again, here's another alternative based in Japan, and another based in the UK

Caught this one yesterday.
Looks like the same meteorite is bouncing off the atmosphere and trying again to penetrate.
Either that or it is an alien ship just out for a cruise.

Thanks. I was just kidding, I knew someone would have a reasonable explanation, afterall, everything can be explained by a reasonable explanation......

An extended signal is due to what's called a "tropo lift," which is a period of increased tropospheric propagation. The VHF signals are received via tropospheric propagation, so an increase ("lift") in that propagation increases the baseline. Normally, that baseline is the blue region at the bottom, but during these "lifts" it shows as a continuous signal like the one seen at the moment.

Meteor detection feed usually updates every minute or so, I think it may be every 37 seconds, but it hasn't updated now for over 24 HRS, what a
coincidence with all this cosmic activity, hope they are not trying to hide anything from us.........

Meteor detection live feed still not updating, over 48hrs now, what a coincidence this is happening at a time of high cosmic activity...........I'm
positive it is just a coincidence.........

Thanks for the post, and that is really cool this meteor live view site. So I have a question....
Is there an archive or photo of what the Russian meteor looked like on this site, and on those charts? Where can I see that? I am very curious to see what those plots showed when the Russian meteor came in, and if they were detected. I mean you figure they would put up a photo of it captured, considering the rarity of that larger event. But have looked and cannot find it.
EDIT Note: I have sent an email to the contact address provided by the site to answer this question, and will share if I get a response.

There won't be a record of the Russian fireball on there since to detect a meteor the radio receiver used to detect meteors needs to be quite near by. This type of meteor observation only detects meteors that are in the sky overhead. Meteors that are a long way off and over the horizon wont be detected. There is a possibility that someone might have been running a similar radio meteor detection system in the area of the Russian event, but it's a very slim one, and chances are we would have heard by now if there was.
Reports of large, bright meteor and sonic boom in SoCal. Within the last hour

Good question, that would be cool to see.
However, from my post above you can see the page had stopped updating and was stuck on the view from Feb 14, 18:28 (I assume UTC) and didn't update for a few days. What was the time of the Russian meteor? I will go find out, it will be interesting to see if the page stopped updating before, during or after the Russian meteor event.
The meteor detection live view is quite active comparared with usual, if anyone gets kicks from watching that kind of thing on a wet and stormy
night.
Just caught this cool one:
Enjoy!

Again, very active tonight, if you haven't watched before you may get a kick out of this:

Unless I'm missing something, isn't this site just for the UK? I don't see how this paints a very accurate hemisphere-specific, or global picture,
if that's the only place it monitors. That doesn't seem very worthwhile in the grand scheme... Is there a global meteor monitoring site anywhere?
