People in Northern hemisphere have it good the past week, the magnificent Perseid showers come to them

there are beautiful pictures on Flickr all about the showers, its so big, that google changed their doodle picture on the homepage.

Meteor showers is a rare event, but the most magnificent among them all is the Leonid meteor showers.

Meteor showers are not to be confused with shooting stars too, for more information visit wiki, I am just documenting all the big astronomy events this year besides the 22July eclipse which I am still very sad about missing when China is so nearby and I can afford to go there if not because of the internship.

oh well I will show you guys some photos of the amazing corona taken soon.

Meteor showers are named according to the constellations they were close to.

whereas here in SG, The showers supposed to peak at 0130 today, which is a thursday. and on Wednesdays I have a 15 hours day, so I could not stay up to watch. However, from what I gather, there is nothing much that can be seen here, which is expected as we are just slightly above the equator. Plus we are highly known for our lights pollution.

oh well here is one picture to leave u mesmerised

btw, I am moving my blog to a private hosting service soon so that I can have more freedom in terms of themes and such, it is also a good learning experience for me to start a brand new website. Since this semester its a ‘relaxed’ semester.

Pls change ur bookmark and RSS feed when that happens and I will let u know about it again.
