[rnm1011]

If that's you delierium, how the hell do we look at the sky now and not think of you........

[HerrBenedikt]

my god!! Is she a shapeshifter?? x)P

[EdibleArtBella]

Why would anyone care about this crap? YouTube was NOT designed for this kinda stuff. Its super retarted. How can ANOYONE care about you. PS: Your graphics and accent SUCK!

[MegaCrazydude101]

hi sara. can i ask you a qwestion if thats ok... whens the next meteor shower going to come. what is the name of the meteor shower. try asking your sources.

[MegaCrazydude101]

DeliriumReal. thank you for your nice comment. but i dident see the meteor shower becuse it was partly cloudy. mabey next year in 2010 i might get a chance. besides i was watching TV

[integradrift]

The shower was great! Glad i watched!

[dieHeeresschar]

Wish I had been able to see them. I was too busy with school to stay up late / wake up early. You know how professors are around finals...

[laurens1244]

can you see them this night to?;

[rukus06]

I saw that big blue one too, in VA it was real cool!!!

[integradrift]

I saw that one too! Did u notice that is was red then turn blue...it was pretty cool! Southern California here...i was able to see about 50 and that was from 1:00am-3:00am!

[UrTubeSuksJerk]

I saw them! I was outside for an hour. I only saw 5 because of the clouds and street lights though.

[flyzapva]

I saw loads from about 2200 to 2300 BST.

[Maluco86]

I love her accent! Will you marry me?? :) I saw a bunch last night from 12:00 until 2:00AM in NY.. they were falling close to Orion's belt. It was spetacular!!

[Sezzie86]

Thanks for the reminder! I saw 92 in an hour last night in Northern Ireland, the sky was really clear so it was fantastic! I'm going to brave the cold tonight again to try and spot some more!

[Kalitans]

102 meteors an hour and a wicked 'WHOLLY SHIT!' fire ball that lit up the place made a 'POP' at 2:47a.m. Best starry night sky for viewing the cosmos in Northwestern B.C.!

[spatodoom]

In Virginia it was really cloudy so I only saw around 10-15 last night. Does anyone know if there is anymore tonight?

[1989benz]

i saw it! 12 am (EST),,, lol within 1 hour, i almost counted 47,, xD

[Annettesmusic]

Saw a very large bluish/green meteor drop straight down behind an apartment building in the Bronx, N.Y. I actually thought I'd hear a bang when it fell it was so large. I couldn't believe my eyes, especially because of the color of it. Googled and found an article in the India Times about the meteors being multicolored.

[tasharajah]

I'm in Southern California...drove for 2 hours to get away from the light pollution in L.A. and saw nothing.....came home and saw 3 in a row. Looking forward to romorrow night.

[volvokid60]

Even on this cloudy night I saw three withing 50 minutes, here in Laguna Beach, CA they must have been very bright because we are getting a marine layer of clouds rolling on from the ocean...

[dyoungsoul2heartless]

i just seen on right now it was awsome!!!!!!!

[estrellita80s]

This is awesome!!! in less than an hour here in Jersey I have seen more than 30!!!

[mgrace10]

You have to look South East.

[mgrace10]

I am in Florida,I've been at the beach for 2 hours,10 to 12, and I saw around 40 of them, beautiful.

LIFE IS GOOD.

Grace

[epizeuxis112892]

Ive seen like 20 of them in 15minutes!!!! im in CA right now.!

[NeuronuclearDemon]

This is all wrong. This is the most UNreliable meteor shower of the year. Every single year it's cloudy. This is the WORST meteor shower ever.

[xPrototype9x]

Will I see in in PA?!?!?

[Loneflufflywolf]

Wait so the UK will get to see it properly at 5am??

[nascarbuff17]

I'm in Belleville, Ontario Canada, where should I look? East, west, or north?

[ACookduke]

the peak in europe will be a bit after 6am CET, that's 5am UK.

The US apparently will have a peak around Midnight EST.

The earlier you start looking, the less meteors you'll see per hour. the longer you stay subsequently, the more you'll see. also your eyes will get accustomed to the dark better, and you'll know where everything is as well.

[cai508]

YAY ITS CLEAR as a window here, plenty for me 2 see :D

[DeliriumReal]

@cai508 sigh... we have lots of clouds ;( enjoy!!!

[MegaCrazydude101]

what time do thay start

[DeliriumReal]

@MegaCrazydude101 almost as soon as it gets dark... peak around 2 a.m. (Northern Hemisphere)... till around 6 a.m. (that's what my sources say)... hope u have great weather!

[ilham770]

hey....i've saw that geminids shower yesterday ...at 2 o'clock in the morning.....that was miracle...for thiz year,,,,,i'm from Malaysia...

[DeliriumReal]

@ilham770 that is awesome!!! sadly we have a lot of clouds, fog and snow

[DeliriumReal]

we have snow all weekend... hope for some clear sky tomorrow!

[petitwallaby]

Oh darnit! I wanted to watch them while I was out of the city yesterday but we were so tired I forgot about it. It was super-cold too so I'm not sure I would have stayed outside very long anyway.

[DeliriumReal]

aw... true it is pretty cold atm... we won't get a chance as far as I can tell... snow and fog ;(

[Koshkesh88]

I will see if I can see any big green meteors this time. Thx for sharing!

[DeliriumReal]

you are welcome... good luck... for us it is probably not working... fog and clouds and snow

[carlosreyes11]

Oh I should be at night in Germany to wish on a falling star and at day down under to go to the beach lol Great video! Every time I come I get amazed with the information and also the video production. I felt I was watching the "Nasa channel" ;) Keep the good work up!

[DeliriumReal]

thanks carlos... I hope we are lucky... they announced snow and clouds for the weekend!

Call me Nasara *rofl*

[dealer394]

Falling stars, Sounds cooler!

[DeliriumReal]

cool... thanks!

[nothadnotbad]

well yea you might do a tutorial. i figured i could do a time lapse by speeding it up like in my dancing blind video.. but yea its not quite the same as the traditional film method. its too clean lol. oh i saw that rudolph show last night and eon the terrible was an awsome stop motion thingy. i got some old 70s film cams but its so expensive to develope the film. check out eon the terrible. he's cool!

[DeliriumReal]

true.... wow can't really remember the time when u used to develope films.. well it wasn't that long ago, but I am so used to digital now!

[HughFromAlice]

Yeah good job on the video! Keep going with them. :-)

We'll only be getting a small show down this way. :-(

[DeliriumReal]

thanks so much... yes I think we won't be lucky easier... they even announced SNOW *brrr*

[HughFromAlice]

Bring that snow on!!! It was 43 (C) here yesterday.

[DeliriumReal]

43??? WHATTT OMG... you can have all the snow we'll get!

[nothadnotbad]

what program do i need for time lapseing? i have movie maker and capwiz. i dont see any time laps stuff on them. help

[DeliriumReal]

you can do timelapse in 2 ways...

1) You take a picture every 4-10 sec and then just put them one after another in your editing tool... (that would be the classical method...

2) You just take your normal videocam and after that you speed it up massivly... (which I see as kind of cheating, but it is basicly the same effect ;)), but that is normally not possible at night times cause you need to expose the pic for example...

Should I do a tutorial?

[Arthur40TwoDent]

I hope you get a cloud less night.

[DeliriumReal]

thankkss... they already kind of said we are getting snow ;(

[RIPFILMS]

Ive been wanting to film a meteor shower for the scenic channel for a while. I tried a couple times but the stars just look like white dots on a black clothe. maybe its my camera? Any tips?

[nothadnotbad]

i know that if you zoom all the way out, your depth of field comes into perfect focus. maybe keep the cam zoomed out then when you put it on your com.. blow it up and slow down the motion. video is not the answer to filming stars unless you got an expensive cam. i dont know the answer

[DeliriumReal]

for nighttimes I would definitivly take a slr to make the shots... agreed... I am not quiet sure if the bigger videocams do it well ...

[DeliriumReal]

Do you have an SLR? like nothadnotbad says... videocam is not quiet the answer here... best way to go is to use an shutterspeed of at least 4'... should I do a tutorial on that... I am kind of experimenting with it...

[Slim4Iife]

I always want to see one but it's always I am not in the right place for it's cloudy or I don't know when. I will check it out. Myabe I can see it if it's on my hemisphere. It's freezing cold out but it would be cool to see it :) Thanks for sharing!

Cheers,

Mari

[DeliriumReal]

Hope you are lucky! we will probably have snow and clouds ;(

[KrazyRawb]

Ooo cool! Didn't know about it.

[DeliriumReal]

get out there and catch some falling stars!

[LaMarudera]

you should work for national geographic... i checked my weather.... pfffffff.... snowy and cloudy.... so take some pics for me please....

[DeliriumReal]

I hope we will have better weather... will be in munich over the weekend... have my cams with me to do some timelapsing...

[HEDONlSM]
