Check Out Some of the Meteor Geek T-Shirts
September is a sluggish time for meteor showers. So what does a meteor fan do while waiting for the next meteor shower? Have you ever thought about organizing a meteor shower viewing party? Meteor shower viewing can be enjoyable for people of all ages, it’s a great way to socialize with friends and stay up into the wee hours of the morning entertaining.
Unfortunately, meteor showers don’t always peak on weekends and as I’ve stated before they usually peak in the morning. But does this really matter when you’re spending time with friends or family? At MeteorBlog, we have a few regular visitors who share meteor shower viewing with their children or a few of you hang out in your backyard with the barbeque grill cooking hamburgers and pretending you’re watching meteors. Whatever you do while you “watch” meteors streak across the sky is fine by me. In my opinion it’s the simple things in life, like meteors, that make the world a super place.
Join the newsletter to be alerted of the next great meteor happening, visit our meteor shop for party gift ideas, keep your head up and most importantly spend a little time with someone you care about gazing up into the heavens searching for meteors.

Having viewed the Perseid showers from the clear skies of southern France, didn’t expect to see much but last night (25/9/2009) about midnight GMT +1 we witnessed an amazing sight.
A “meteor” dropped vertically down the sky due south of us, leaving a trail like a firework rocket in reverse, before “fizzing out” for a split second then exploding in a bright green and white fireball. No sound whatsoever.
We were stunned and wondered whether it was a man-made object re-entering the atmosphere because of its unusual trajectory. The flare was bright enough to have lit the southern sky for that brief second.
