[meteorite-list] 2010 Perseids

[power ofunity]

Hi Bernd, Greg, and List...
 
Hope everyone got at least a glimpse of the show last night.  Here in northern 
California the viewing was perfect, Jupiter and moons were a nice opening act, 
and the main attraction was spectacular...2 and 3 second meteor "laser beams" 
across the sky, several large, nice bolides, and a couple of fascinating skips 
across the atmosphere.  Thanks to everyone for the around the globe updates!
 
All the best, 
 
Jessica

Wow, Greg! That's about 20-25 Perseids per hour.Congratulations on such
a large number of Perseids! By the way, at 59 km/s, the Perseids belong to
the fastest moving meteors. The Southern Taurids, by contrast, are relatively
slow:

=> 27 km/s (only :-)

Best wishes,

Bernd
