  • Has anyone else noticed the METEOR streaking diagonally from upper right to lower left, starting just behind the flare as it fades at about 20-21 sec.?  It's very faint. You may need a dark room to see it.

  • There was supposed to be a -8 here this morning just before 5 AM... I woke up earlier than usual for work so I could see it... It got no brighter than Venus :(

    The flare center was supposed to pass .02 km to my east.

  • -7 mag today

  • oops i thought it was around -6... sry :-)

  • no moon is @ mag -12.2 so this should look kinda like the moon! Just as it really does

  • o_O that would be 20-30 times brighter than the moon

  • there will be a -7 mag flare tomorrow... I CANT WAIT

  • Yeah, it had 18db increase(lower left) which is identical to magnitude increase of 4.5 making it look like... A MAG. -12.5 flare LOL makes sense

  • under some circumstances they can get up to mag. -9.5 so...

  • This was huge !!!!
