Subject: Meteor Shower set to let public down again...Annual non-event leaves stargazers closed-mouthed
Hello Friend.
The Annual Dissapointids meteor shower (also known as the Perseids) will be happening and on full display this weekend.
As the earth passes through the debris fields of Comet Invisible, (also known as Comet Kohoutek) which in 1973 did not
streak through the visible skies because it was like 12 billion miles from the earth, you can expect an insipid trickle of shooting
stars to light up the sky, in a distinguishing display of celestial mediocrity.
In a recent interview with Sky News magazine editor Randall Dagwood, Astronomer Royal Sir Martin Unreasonable,
said this: “ We plan to be observing this event with a huge f@cking telescope at the David Dunlap Observatory in Ontario, Canada and it will
be still be shite, like it always is”.
Having said all that, here is a timeline that will show how YOU can get the best out of this event this weekend:
23: 18 Assuming it’s not cloudy (which it usually is) the huge nonbombardment of meteors will be visible (as many
as 6 per hour).
23:25 Look up for several minutes, until your neck hurts then run inside and grab a Tylenol.
26:01 decide this is a colossal waste of time and run back inside and binge on the latest Netflix episodes you
are watching.
Clear Skies,
Ray Khan
