PopularMechanics: Make sure you remember to look up tonight. The first meteor shower of the summer, the Delta Aquarids, is scheduled to peak Thursday and Friday. The best viewing times will be late at night and early in the morning, before dawn. The shower should be clearly visible to anyone in the Northern Hemisphere, provided you have clear skies.
The Delta Aquarids typically produce about 15 to 20 meteors per hour during their peak. While they’re not the brightest meteors, you’ll definitely see a few if you watch long enough. MORE
I don’t know what this means, but I sure would like to see Delta Burke in my meteor shower….
@willysgoatgruff: Sounds like you actually want a meatier shower…
😛
Lazlo always liked Dixie Carter, but Delta, she’s pretty saucy too.
Instead, ww all are having a media-shower. Sucks
@ Vietvet….yeppers, more bounch for the ounce…
WE not ww
whoopee. We had 4.5 inches of rain last night and tonight doesn’t look much better. Can’t see nuthin’ but clouds.
You must live in Seattle.
Raining like a mad bastard here.
The melons love it. And the worms will be active in an effort to not drown.
FCUK….I’ve spent thousands of dollars trying to drown my worm….
The robins will be happy. You’ve never seen an army of robins until you’ve seen a hard rain around here. Armies. Colour Sergeants, Leff-tenants, battle flags all.
LEFT FLANK FORWAR! ENTRENCH!
B COMPANEEEE! MOUNT BAYONETS! FORWARRRR!
Nah, at night, I have ten acres of tarantulas wandering around this time of year.
@ Anony….yeah, I cut my back field today and the barn swallows were straffing all the flying bugs…it was beautiful….
Yes, willysgaotgruff, beautiful.
And the General, sitting in a tree, saying, “There’s worms about, confound it!” He happens to be a red-winged blackbird — noisy; a blackguard; an idle beggar.
I saw just a few, looking West about 90 minutes ago.
They were white, not orange like those I’ve seen before.
I’ll be looking for them, if I can stand the mosquitoes.
