 Accidentally Filmed Shooting Star Posted on: Fri Oct 07, 2011 3:10 pmHello everyone, first time poster long time viewer and space enthusiast. I was filming a object in my telescope off the lower western sky. I pulled my camera off the telescope to get a direct look at the object when a shooting star came across my lens. It was spectacular and beautiful all at the same time. So I wanted to share it.

I guess that is one of those things you can only capture by accident  _________________ pride comes before a fall |

Re: Accidentally Filmed Shooting Star Posted on: Mon Oct 17, 2011 7:52 pm Nice color.
I wonder if it was a piece of Comet Elenin? Close approach was on Oct. 10 at 22 million miles. Close enough to sweep in some of its debris trail. |

Such fireballs are especially important to determine a connection between meteor impacts and close asteroid approaches.

Just use the most efficient engines and stages at the same time, and the result will automatically be SSTO. Blog: http://exoscientist.blogspot.com |
