.@Spacecom @space-com-Spacecom Just wondering… How are future moonbases going to be made safe from meteors / meteor showers? #Meteor #MeteorShower #MoonBase #NASA

Outside for two hours after midnight, clear skies, as the #Lyrids approach the peak. Saw a single #meteor... and it wasn't a Lyrid.

Still, it was a chance to experiment with the new-ish star trails feature in the Dwarf3 app.

A meteor that experts say was travelling over the North Sea is spotted in Northamptonshire.

Satelliten- #Flare oder #Sternschnuppe ( #Meteor ), das ist hier die Frage. Ich konnte keinen Satelliten-Counterpart finden, der diese sehr kleine Spur gestern Abend erklären könnte. Das alleine will aber noch nichts heißen. Assymetrische Spur. Das kann auf Meteor hindeuten... aber nicht zwingend.

“Sunday night, around 7:00 PM local time, a bright fireball streaked across the western German sky, exploded, and rained chunks of space rock down on the region around Koblenz. One of the largest known chunks put a soccer-ball-sized hole in someone’s roof, landing in their bedroom. Fortunately, nobody was hurt. But given the apparent size of the explosion, there must be many more pieces out there for the finding, and a wave of hopeful meteorite hunters has descended upon the region.”
