Was the title of the thread a reference to Day of the triffids?
If not you missed a good one there.
I might... but 3AM???
Thanks for the 'headup' ,yes I will certainly try and make the effort to see this event , 0300 no problem for me.![]()
Also there's some sort of eclipse tonight
this is interesting:
Later this year . . .
On July 22, the longest total solar eclipse in the 21st century will take place, as the moon's dark umbral shadow races across central India, the People's Republic of China (including Shanghai), and some of the Ryukyu Islands of Japan. At the point of greatest eclipse, totality will last 6 minutes 39 seconds; the longest of any eclipse between 1991 and 2132; it is an eclipse that is eagerly being awaited by millions who live along the path of totality and countless thousands more from around the world who plan to position themselves within the path.

Is it powered by biofuel or hydrogen?
I didn't know comets could be green coloured. That's interesting.![]()
I'm not sure if we'll be able to see this... it says it'll be visible about 3am. I'm assuming NASA operates on ET (Eastern Time) which is 5 hours earlier than GMT? So that'll be 8am here which I'm guessing is too late to see a comet.
I'm not too clued up about viewing comets though, maybe we will be able to see it!
No, we'll be able to see it at 3am our time, due to the earth's rotation.![]()
