[@nadia11119]

Thanks for the info. I’m going out tonight on our yacht to see if I can see some. Yesterday evening I was on holiday in the south (uk) in a jacuzzi and looking up at the stars and saw the most amazing fire ball/shooting star. It was an orange star burst followed by a firey tail, almost like a very far away firework. Incredible! Hope I see another tonight. 💫

[@starman1969]

Sounds amazing.

Me and my daughter's love watching this event every year 😊. We saw a Green fireball a few years ago it was spectacular.

[@starman1969]

Sounds great!

[@Noob10983]

Very excited to see this!

[@europeanambience]

Just look in the Nightskay :D

[@bredaquirke7362]

Unfortunately as you know Steve we didn't get the weather this year. 2 or 3 years when I was living in Heartsfordshire we went to a local park to see the meteors, I saw several lines in the sky. I hope it wasn't satellites I saw. My nephew and 1 were at my uncle's house in semi rural Surrey fome years for the meteors, both my uncle and nephew saw about 8 each, where I saw only 2. What was the Irish magazine your amazing photograph was published in?

[@frankinblackpool]

Thankfully, I'm not working next weekend and if the Sky/cloud gods are smiling, then maybe there will be a good showing.😀😀

[@starman1969]

Let’s hope 🤞

[@cyrilbate6153]

Stephen, just wanted to know what size are you in t-shirt 👕 let me know. Thanks 👍

[@starman1969]

XL or XXL I unusually get, thanks Cyril.

[@cyrilbate6153]

So you are wanting a L fitting

[@starman1969]

@@cyrilbate6153XL, I’d say 🙏

[@dianemckill5708]

Staying in Glasgow city I don't think there's much chance of seeing the sky never mind a meteor. I'll just need to look at your pictures.

[@starman1969]

Thanks Diane.

[@norcalridgerunners4206]

Your wrong stars are not fixed in the sky everything is moving including our sun at 448,000 mph

[@starman1969]

I know that, but they are pretty much fixed from our perspective. That is what I meant.
