OK, new song - new twist:

I'd also recommend a set of studded tires. Many people here ride well below freezing. I think they're nuts - to ride with rush hour traffic at 20 below zero, but they're always out there.

This belongs in the "how to take an interesting picture when you're really trying" thread...

I think Chris' point was that all led's blink, even the static ones - just that they do it too quickly for us to normally see.
Those "hyper" blinks appear as dashes in your image.

Rob, last night we swung from -6 to +7 (C) in 3 hours. I love Calgary winters for this.

Maybe here, the radiant matches up?

jman

Thanks, Neufer now can you help locate the primary Leo stars on the APOD image?

jman

Can someone generate a matching star star chart to help pinpoint the radiant? I cant visualize stars through the trails.

Appeal to eligible enthusiasts for a mass evacuation of planet via spacecraft hidden behind approaching comet.

Wow, ok. What about on the moon - same deal?

jman

uphill for at least tens of thousands of years

Does that mean it will start decelerating at some point and would it ever roll back down?

I suspect that water wouldn't take liquid form in outer space, it'd be an ice balloon.
