bluekarin Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Cloudy last night raining this morning Some people have all the luck If you live in Tromsø you would have seen this A double treat of meteors and Northern Lights Oh that's just beautiful, and so unfair *stamps foot* I really want to see the Northern lights, and it doesn't look like it'll be clear enough to see the meteor shower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Speckled Hen Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 The clouds parted just before I went to bed. Saw 20 or so in the half hour I stood outside being buffeted in the wind. Awesome sight. If you look at them where they seem to start they are quite short but elsewhere in the sky they do appear longer. I heard on local radio that some of these shooting stars are caused by particles no bigger than a coffee ground. Seems improbable, somehow.
