2001 Leonids Meteor Shower 獅子座流星雨

[Merlina911]

I saw it in Portugal during 2 hours , one of the biggest experience in my life. I've counted more the three hundred in less a hour, fantastic !!!!!!!

[alankuk578]

thank you very much, I love these stuff.

[valoamourlazerbURTON]

im gonna try to see them tonight! :D

[gix6]

i was enjoying this video until the music put me to sleep!!!

[ExpoFever]

can anyone tell me the music please

[chilimaker2011]

Seems like in eastern North Carolina, with perseids and leonid meteor showers, it's always cloudy. While I'm whining, I feel like I lost out on history by never seeing a NASA rocket launch in Florida.

[ExpoFever]

@chilimaker2011 even most parts of europe like united kingdom is mostly cloudy but it does clear in the end i only saw 1 lyrid meteor its active from 19th to 26th but peaks on 22nd of april there 2 sets of lyrids april lyrids and june lyrids both radiate from same place near vega

[TiasVanity]

I remember seeing this when i was 5.. :)

[kasanj]

I needed to change my shorts at :52.

[Moyjk]

Shame, that the Leonids only shows up every 33 years. And recently done research it may skip the next two times. I just hope it won't, cuz I really wanna see it.

[ExpoFever]

@Moyjk they apper every year but theres a leonids storm thats every 33 years

[tyhillman21]

4 A.M. tonight. Get fired up.

[Algonkin1964]

Great video with lovely music.. Well done!

[MonglidAndDozzy2]

Im only 11 and I love learning about space! Every night I let my dogs in the garden and I look at the Stars.Sometimes I look in the distance and I see white lines.I think it might just be me though.

[mbofny]

That was awesome!

[hituya75]

流星痕初めて見ました！凄いです！

[cabotribe]

wow. that is absolutely amazing!

[MRkallek91]

just goes to show how vulnerable we are.

[HerrBenji]

Anyone knows if I can capture this with an average camera by changing the settings? If so, please tell me how. Nice video by the way, really neat!

[VickieDeex]

[vibol03]

well there was another meteor shower on November 16th 2009, which was like a week ago. That was real and i regret that i didnt watch it!

so next time if you know theres gonna be a meteor shower, just watch it no matter how late you have to stay up!

[Bgkgtjh]

Yeah that was the Leonids ( the same shower you see on this vid). There is meteorshowers every year on specific dates. You can watch them on Wikipedia.

[janni160]

haha realy nice vid hay man u say there is meteorshowers every year dates can u give me the link or the date pls ? :P thx ^^

[fave2727]

you google meteor shower 2010, and you get several links.

[djderk]

poor choice if music imo

[feyfey88]

today 6 am I saw only 2 meteors.

The first one is very bright and long, I'm thankful for that, it is awesome!^.^

[KaisKites]

I saw the Leonides once before and during dawn here in PR, like 1997 or 96. It was one of these monster storms. Impressive. Nice video.

[xenomy]

saw 5 today...most of them near planet Saturn :/

[ghostunit83]

nope...i live in prince albert, saskatchewan, canada and we didn't see it until about 4 tueday morning and it lasted until about 6:30. it was pretty cool but my neck got sore and we ran out of weed and beers hahaha!

[feyfey88]

I hope today there will be another chance to see.

[feyfey88]

I almost forgot today is the best day to watch the shooting stars.

I woke up on 5am, I saw 10++ only : (

Every year in Malaysia, it is hard to see leonids meteor, because of raining season : (

Luckily, today morning the sky was quite clear, so I saw some.

What is the weakness of the meteor is, its' life is too short. Appear only less than a second, just left a short tail image in my eye.

[oscar5717]

i live in california and around 1:30 there was the biggest meteorite i ever seen, but from 1am to 2 am i only saw about 6. is it still going to happen again? clear skies a little chilly though.

[emptyhand001]

[Princebone22]

[professorfoxtrot]

[HayleyEJB]

They were few and far between here in North Dakota but not having so many city lights made it beautiful...but very cold. Saw about 20 in 2 hours with breaks in between. Beautiful. Can't wait for the summer meteor showers.

[blueslin1016]

[tenou123]

Jealous! You guys get a far better view than us in the Northeast :X

[barrella]

hey where in the north east are you?? new jersey here. I wa sup until 345 when clouds rolled over the jersey shore, trying to catch a glimpse of the meteorites. I saw some pretty good ones but the beach wasn't as dark as I had hoped.

either way it was a pretty amazing night!!

[destinyhopefan112]

I AM GOING TO WAKE UP FOR THIS TIME'S

[nikiC124]

how can you NOT see the giant flashes of green light?! or are you that dtermined to pick apart every aspect of the film? Read the description box smart ones, it's not their footage, they just put it all together in a montage.

[luvanimals209]

[hugarf]

hey if u were in the sky and plz dont think im stupid i just dont no well anyways if u were in the sky on a plane cud u get hit???? would u die? what are meteors showers i mean i no wat they are but i also dont so pm me and tell me about them plz

[Rkocha]

Most of the shooting stars in the annual Leonid meteor shower are the result of tiny bits of material, the size of sand grains or peas, blown off a comet and wafting through space for centuries. The Leonids are spawned by the comet Tempel-Tuttle. Every 33 years, it rounds the Sun and then goes back to the outer solar system. On each passage across Earth's orbit, Tempel-Tuttle lays down another trail of debris, each in a slightly different location than previous trails.

[Rkocha]

Over time, the debris trails spread out. Each year, Earth passes through different streams, and different parts of the streams, creating bursts of activity and slack periods in the nights surrounding the event's peak.

What you're seeing in the sky is basically small pieces of sand, dirt, and other debris shooting through our solar system at a high velocity. most of the big "meteors" you see are just sand burning up. The huge ones might be bigger debris, but most are small. hope this helped.

[alex23747]

@Rkocha did u mean every 133 years

[jophus82]

You know that math phenomenon where something just keeps getting closer to something but never touches? That is the probability of a meteor hitting an in-flight plane. As close as you can get to impossible without touching it. You know that, which is why you said don't think I'm stupid. I don't think you are - you obviously knew the answer.

The odds of a meteor even hitting land (vs h20) is even unlikely of a big enough part. That being said, I don't know the answer. Even if it was sand sized.

[hugarf]

i just wasnt shure like i dint want people to reply a douchy comment ohh and i think that math procedure would be the pathagrium therums 3

u dont think any 12 yar old wud no that lol

im not a nerd more of joc

[FifaCup06]

im pretty sure u cant get hit...meteors enter the atmosphere higher than planes fly and they disintegrate at very high altituds. Meteors are bits of rock and dust from space that come into our atmosphere. metoer showers usually occur when earth travels through debris from comets such as haleys commet. thats why you see tons of meteors in a meteor shower as opposed to any regular night

[muchovej]

is there any way i can get a copy of this video to download? i'd like to show it to my class of kindergarten students. it is a great compilation.

[bladeun19]

0:53 So good.

[myusernameisoriginal]

What is that at 1:49? looks like DNA.. lol

[1983parrothead]

This was around the North American release date of the Nintendo GameCube.

[wallpaperkilla]

yes

[spack05]

The 0:53 one is very great, it's tail even is not erased on the sky for a few seconds.

[twinkle1711]

this is really magical!having a chance to see a real meteor shower is fantastic.

[gharnette08]

I saw it too last 2002 it was awesome..Ang i really want to see it every year but i havent seen since then..

[ericxxxway]

I can't wait till the next one...very cool video..Funny Music..lol

[rickytsub]

[bonviej1]

Loving the elevator music.

Smoking musicians.

[xlilrawrx]

0:54 that one was HUGE!

[ImFetch]

not huge. just closer to the cam

[ohohgal]

I never see meteor shower before..

When will my turns to watch it in live?

[ImFetch]

watch the news they always tell you. inc alifornia its around august

[052053028]

My roommates and I watched this on our roof in November 2001. Really splendid. All the students in my campus celebrated that night.

[unsuidojo]

謝謝!!

I remember having organized a small outing for my friends to watch this event, it started on right note, but 10 minutes into Leonid Shower , the weather turned Cloudy and we had to return.

[wedgewu]

A falling star is Short-term but eternal! I will never foget what I saw in 2001! That was really impressive.

[Itherean]

I see that too in the Philippines on Nov 2001. I was on the rooftop around 2:00 AM at clear zenith. The main 2 meteor showers appear bluish-white and the rests of the streak appear faint yellow. (Muntinlupa City, Metro Manila).

[jeruger]

I saw a meteor shower on the island of Kyushu in japan in 2000 or 2001 while in the Marines. I wonder if this is it.

[wedgewu]

I believe this is what you saw on the island of Kyushu! Leonids in 2001 at Asia was a big shower!

[Cyclist051]

Actually gtspoke, that's not correct. And these definitely are the 2001 Leonids. While the constellation Orion does appear in several of these vidoes, that doesn't make these meteors the Orionids. Each meteor shower has a point in the sky from which the meteors all appear to radiate out in all directions- the "radiant." Showers are named for the constellation in which the point is found. But the meteors radiate out over the entire sky, including thru Orion even though they radiated out from Leo.

[wedgewu]

Your comment is great! Thanks a lot!

[gtspoke]

by the way the way thats not leonids thats the orionids leonids in the constellation leo and orionids is in orion and looks like orion constellation the leonids never boarders orion

[wedgewu]

Trust me, this is the Leonids! Thanks your comment!
