If you're camping out and can't sleep, maybe your slumber is being interrupted by the flash of meteors. The summer Perseid meteor shower is getting underway as Earth enters the debris stream from comet Swift-Tuttle.
@Mja0w - You can "listen" to the Perseids as well via streaming audio. Do a search for Spaceweather. Go to that webpage and in the right hand column of the web page, below "Archives" , look for the "Spaceweather Radio" and click on the link. You will need speakers or headphones connected to your computer. m-
@WEATHERORNUT they appear to originate from the constellation of Perseus due to earth orbit, but originate from the Swift-Tuttle comet, which is in our solar system.
Can you please clarify whether they come from the constellation Perseus or come from within our solar system.. Not sure where they come from but am looking forward to seeing them... Also the larger chunks, golf balls, baseballs and so-on...would like to know what the so-on is... thank you for being here.. I wish there wasnt so much data missing from the soho site also... keep up the GOOD work and share it with the world
very interesting.. nice video...

@NicolaasJK Bullet proof material surrounds the most vital parts of it; if a bullet cannot peirce it, these meteorites won't either.
