Leonids Meteor shower is this weekend. They're not as plentiful as the perseids, but tend to be a little brighter. If you go to some dark skies and look up you might catch a few bright ones radiating in all directions from Leo. Observation is best after midnight. Just go and look up!

If they're radiating on all directions does that mean theyre headed right towards us? Or is God whippin his dick around when he passes his kidney stones?

The earth is basically crossing an intersection. The cross street is generally tiny pebbles or dust going at high velocity the other way. From the perspective of the drivers seat, all impacts on your car hit from the same direction. In this case, the constellation Leo is the point at which the meteors come from. They will go in all directions from that constellation as a starting point. In other words if you trace back each Meteor you see they all come from the same point.

12-13 tons? I had no idea.

voyager is outside of our solar system, 15 billion miles out, yet the sun still lights it up 15 times brighter than a full moon on earth

my car gets hit from all different directions though

I've been enjoying the cavalcade of planets this month: Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn all in the night sky at the same time. Pretty damn cool.

Mars will disappear behind the moon tonight at approx 808p (depending on your exact location). It will reappear at approx 916p.

Daughter got me a telescope for my birthday recently. It’s possibly cloudy tonight though here.
