Re: Camelopardalids Meteor Shower TONIGHT!
Although this is a far cry from predictions, it is hardly a surprise. The parent comet, 209P/LINEAR, is faint and currently produces only a small amount of dust. Most forecasters acknowldged that there might be less dust in Earth's path than the models suggested.

Another possibility is that the shower is not a dud, just delayed. If models mis-located the debris zone, an outburst could still occur later on May 24th. Stay tuned.

Another thing to look for while you're out, the ISS!

It makes a couple passes visible over much of North America this morning. My favorite site to track the ISS and other satelites is www. [link to heavens-above.com]

Set your location at the following link, then go to the main page and click on ISS-

Here's the passes for Minneapolis this morning, at 2:30 and 4:15am -

At a cost of over $100 billion it's been called the most expensive construction project in human history, also it's cool to look up and see a point of light with human beings on it. We've come a long way, baby!

Just saw a bright pass of the ISS, which is always a wondrous thing, best sight of the night so far.

Saw three satellites that night, one of them really bright and nice. No meteors though :( Except some stars, four UFO's and three satellites the night was really dry when considering celestial events. It got bright really early and the damn birds started to sing loud as heck. I just flopped to bed feeling disappointed. My camera was pointing more to the West, so I don't know, if I got to capture any of it on a 30 minutes exposure.
If any foreign minister begins to defend to the death a "peace conference," you can be sure his government has already placed its orders for new battleships and aeroplanes.

Got out to a dark place on the side of a road on the edge of town. The only lights I saw were the blue lights of the local constabulary asking why the hell I was sitting on the side of the road with the top down on my car? "Was I sleepy", he asked?

I told him I was looking for the meteor shower. I'm sure he had a good laugh at that.

What a bust.......
