For a change this is pretty good timing for us Brits... Anyone wanting to stay up late to follow the fly-by will be able (weather permitting) to catch one of the year's best meteor showers too.
The Perseid meteor shower is due to peak at 06.00BST on the morning of August 12th, so anyone staying up late the previous evening will - again, weather permitting - see more shooting stars than usual, and by the time the sky brightens early a.m. next morning we might be getting some Enceladus images, maybe? So, my timetable looks like it's set... finish work at 10, online by 10.20 to follow the fly-by here, go outside around 11.30 to watch the meteor shower, back inside at around 04.00 and check how the fly-by went, head off to bed 6ish... Hmmm, I like the sound of that plan. ![]() -------------------- |
