Leonid Meteor Shower

[moopy239]

nice vid..sucky music

[raddehc]

would love to have :23 explained- bright flash and then smoke trail lingering, breaking up slowly... I saw one of these once during the perseids- the flash was very bright, it was directly above me (i was watching lying down)... it almost seemed that one had made it far into the atmosphere before burning up? the smoke trail hung very long and seemed to be breaking up from wind, it was not like the 'trail' you see on some meteors. the flash and then trail on this vid are strikingly similar...

[odemata87]

Next to the Orionids these are the best to view. worth the wait in the cold, and terrible music

[unclegenerox]

awesome uncle plus screw the guy who wrote the(WTF) comment!!!

G.!!!

[unclegenerox]

awesome uncle

G.!!!

[Seira88]

WTF is with that music?

[hanibou]

Rectification ! Je ne suis pas restée éveillée pour observer les Léonides, j'ai mis le réveil car chez nous elles étaient visibles vers 5 h 45.

[hanibou]

Quelle chance d'avoir vu ce spectacle ! Moi le 17 novembre 2009 je suis restée éveillée pour observer les Léonides mais le ciel était couvert en Alsace et l'est resté !

Une de mes amies résidant en Provence a eu aussi un ciel couvert cette nuit-là.

[16kings]

@UnNcredible they dont play "fireworks" on the space channel dumbass

[sssukaPSN]

[Mastermind23178]

OH SHIT ITS THE TRANSFORMERS!

[Agnaldogenova]

Stupid

[Displaysac90]

truly hysterical music.

[diajassy]

The music was horrible

Tut Tut

too much black man rap these days

[kunkle493]

@diajassy

Hahahaha you've got to be the most ignorant person i've ever seen on youtube

"Too much black man rap these days"

LOL I didn't hear a single black mans voice in the song that was playing...how did you come to the conclusion it was a black mans BEAT? And ya it was a BEAT not a RAP dumbass

[shazam1059]

adj 789 i hear that! more "music" to make the ears bleed. cool footage, tho. shazam1059

[reksub10]

its august 13 at 2.30 2010,and we just wittnessed the persied meteor shower from the comet swift-tuttle..i seen about 6 in half an hour,,but i would love to wittness the leonid shower as i understandyou can see thousands per hour at its peak ..is this true???does anyone know how often the leonid shower comes around i thought it was evry 33 years,is this true???beautiful

[MKelly1919]

@reksub10 Leonid are every year as well, usually about mid-November. Occasionally, the Leonid Shower produces thousands of meteors per hour in a meteor storm, and this happens every 33 years, and it's a good 20 or so years before it happens again. Usually it's around 15-20 meteors an hour though.

[reksub10]

@MKelly1919 so the big leonid storm is every 33 years but it can be seen every year.cheers what cause the big storm every 33 years???is it comet debris from temple tuttle .as the persied strom is yearly as the earth passes through the debris of comet swift tuttle but that comet has a perihelion of 130-135 years,any ifo is appreciated thanks

[MKelly1919]

@reksub10 Essentially, as debris is blown off Tempel-Tuttle, it begins to spread out. However, every 33 years the Earth's orbit and that of Tempel-Tuttle intersect, and we get new debris that has not had time to spread out. Therefore it is very dense, and produces a meteor storm. To the best of my knowledge, that's why.

[reksub10]

@MKelly1919 thanks very much for the info ,,,did you see any perseid meteors on the 13th aug this year??? i seen loads from the west coast of scotland

[MKelly1919]

@reksub10 I saw loads. Drove to just outside Sheffield in Derbyshire, got some brilliant views. I bet the west coast was epic, I've been meaning to travel up to Galloway Forest Park, I've heard the skies are darkest in the UK. I'm a bit annoyed that my camera didn't catch any though, got some wonderful photos of stars and, annoyingly, planes, but no meteors. You have any better luck?

[reksub10]

@MKelly1919 no i didnt get any luck with photographng any im an amatuer skygazer.and i learned a bit about the leonid shower's but in scotland its a bit cold in november to be standing out in the night,but then i found out about the persied showerand i was overjoyed that it was the summer ,and the skies where so clear it was beautiful.some one commented that with all the movies and books in the world,the universe puts on a show that beats them all hands down.illneed to get a camera cos i love it

[MKelly1919]

@reksub10 I'm the same, this was the first time I'd been out with the sole intention of star-gazing. I used my Dad's camera, tried to get it on a few minutes worth of exposure, but it just wouldn't work. I would have to agree with you on that, I'm currently doing a College project on the Aurora, and it's easily just the greatest thing to behold.

[reksub10]

was that a collision with another meteor or the atmosmphere at 0.23???

[sisnisterdreams17]

00:23

one just stopped dead! or did it. can someone confirm what that was

[julionica]

[faustrocket565]

I stayed up at 1 in the morning just to see only one meteor but I'm not complaining I was too tired to see anything else

[StevieAntal]

Nasa took the Shot, from Space, from the Space Center, pointing a little off to the Side of the Earth, were the Belt of the Shower was. Hope that helped you out.

[matttheemt]

so i am assuming the video is a sped up version of the entire night. where was it shot? The entire US was cloudy with the exception of some western states. you have some clouds in yours.

[mjuchiha]

[TempletonIII]

[COM0fAek]

Wow 0:25!!! I wish I could have seen that one live.

[bsmith8998]

I never get up to watch meteor showers. If it looked as cool as it does in pictures talking about them I would but its just a bunch of random streaks thru the sky.

[ross350tube]

through

[bsmith8998]

Did you know what I meant? Awesome! I dont need someone pretending to be a damn spelling teacher!

[blsupr]

I read the title and I thought it said 'Leighton Meester shower.'

[adityat90]

Haha

[adj789]

wow thanks for the terrible music that doesn't even fit

[matrix0071]

lol

[NoleMan007]

Very cool.

[ExoticGawdess]

The meteor at 0:24 is awesome.

[ExoticGawdess]

Which direction did you aim your camera at?

Did you randomly set it toward the sky or what?

Did you point it East, North or at a constellation?

Or did you just aim it where you saw the most meteors?

[ross350tube]

don't need "at" after the word direction

[louie11aao]

How sad is your life that you correct grammar and spelling on YouTube? get a fuckin LiF3

[SirPreyasThe619]

Oh Man ! I missed it.

I even stayed up til 1:00 but I

didn't see a thing & the sky was clear!

[Blindside453]

I think it was supposed to start about 2:00 and last till dawn but I'm no expert, I read that somewhere.

[spidez8407]

i was on the graveyard shift one lit up the sky dark red almost purple it was fuckin awsome

[DavidIsAwesomer]

I didn't know there was a meteor shower, but that would have explained all the meteors last night.

[Dc45d]

[medcardman]

[SeedLover101]

I so wanted to see but, was tired at 1am and it was a school night, besides was in a urban area so comets would not be so bright

[jvercetti17]

[alesenka121]

[ExoticGawdess]

The song sounds like a remix of the pop song "Love Don't Cost a Thing."

[momonpurificacion]

i'm from the philippines, too, and i saw at least 16, at first i focused on the eastern part of the sky, that's when i saw the first one, and then another one appeared in another direction, (one article i've read is right, it appears in different directions)

[LoneGunmen2]

What's with the music? Makes no sense for this video and annoys me.

[BrandonHawk21]

it's upbeat and he prolly made it himself. Fun to do. Go be negative and hate life somewhere else dude ,damn

[LoneGunmen2]

In that case he should make it into a music video, not add it to a video about meteor showers.

[quiksilver87]

bukakke

[emersontotalyconfuse]
