Chameleon Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I nerd out over any and all things Space. Read this article this morning and loved that Mercury was visible. May be boring to some, but I love it..

RatSpit Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I woke up at 4:30 with Venus glaring in my bedroom window, got my coffee and went outside to get a good look, man was she bright! Bummed I wasn't aware I had a chance at Mercury too! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chameleon Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 I feel ya. Sometimes events happen and I miss them and it is indeed a bummer. I try to keep up as much as I can so I can see the meteor showers and so on.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RatSpit Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I did however snag a fantastic bright white meteor. I am in the thick of moving from city life back to country, very much looking forward to the night sky's! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah when I finally got out of the city many years ago and back into the mountains, I could pay much more attention to the sky and it's surroundings. A few years back, in November, I was able to be a part of the Leonid meteor shower that produced around 50 or more meteors per hour, and I would venture to say 20 of those each hour were fireballs.. Those always amaze me with the different colors they turn and the varying intensities of the light that flash with them, just totally blew my mind. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyHippo Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Mercury is very hard to see planet, it appears on the most closest horizon at early mornings so the Sun "turns off" Mercury just when its at the best chance to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoongalaJones Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Had a small glimpse of Mercury one morning, but it was barely visible. Ecstatic to find other sky watchers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
