Another wandering space related topic.

There is a thread running on the "Boats, Trains and Planes" forum - which is where the mods appear to want most space discussions on PH.

Why can't they just put "Space" in the title of that forum so people know where to find stuff like this?

I went to a 'meteorite' party last night at my Sister's house... I'm not really into astronomy, but it was a bit of a laugh, with a garden full of people lying on their backs looking up at the sky!

Saw a few, but I always seemed to be eating, drinking or chatting and missed most of the 'shooting stars'

saw some amazing ones whilst in the Gili islands last year, there is not much light over there due to the island running off generator and me and the OH got a spectacular display, at roughly this time.... I want to go back
