Listen to Leonids meteor shower Live!!

You can now listen live to 'The Air Force Space Surveillance Radar is scanning the skies above Texas. When a meteor or satellite passes over the facility--ping!--there is an echo' through Spaceweather radio.
spaceweatherradio.com...

I could listen to it for hours and am. Its a bit creepy aswell after a few minutes you start to hear things in the fuzz.

That's really cool!

Quite creepy hearing the little spacey pings of the meteors..

Though at then moment, there's just a very high pitched whine overlaying the whole thing.. Hope there's not like a UFO screwing the radar signal up!

Yeah that whine get on my nerves a tad, maybe its the big one.
It gives you something to do if the weather is cloudy or like me its still daylight. At least i can say i experienced it still.

Yeah it's daytime here too.

I was out last night, beautifully clear, but didn't see a single shooting star

Saw a massively bright one a couple of nights back though, was just incredible!

I live in a big city so even if i had a yard to go to the light pollution is pretty bad. Maybe one day ill get back to the countryside.

Oooh no, that's no good for stargazing at all...

I'm just right on the edge of the 'burbs so it's ok here, not perfect, but pretty nonetheless!

Ever heard of 'Right to Starlight'?

Check it out here.

Really interesting and makes me happy
