Thanks Paul, all excellent. Signs in the sky.

I can see we both enjoy space/science topics. You should be appointed 'Island Science Editor'.

It made a big hoOOOole. If you find something, leave it there.

Thank you. I got my Extra so that I could do some Radio Astronomy.

Maybe you can start another thread on the upcoming comet events this year... I think one or two is coming up in the next few months, and another next fall. It is said this could be the year of the comets.

I know of a number of people who moved away from the coasts because of either the oceans rising or the fact that tsunami can be caused by a number of factors. One of which is an asteroid hitting the ocean. Myself included. The skies here are beautiful at night except for the light pollution that we can see from nearby cities. I can see a storm coming 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 days away. The AM DX is also incredible. I should be able to pick up almost all the baseball games this summer.

As soon as I retire I'm moving to northern Alaska. Meteors hit the ocean everyday but when the "really big one" hits the ocean you may not be safe anywhere except perhaps at the summit of one of the worlds tallest mountains... And even then you would still be out of luck.

Sensors at monitoring stations to enforce the nuclear test ban treaty picked up the sound of the Russian meteor explosion...

The shock wave from Friday's (Feb. 15) meteor explosion above Russia sent subsonic waves through the atmosphere halfway around the world.
Up to 11 sensors in Greenland, Africa, Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula and other far-flung regions detected the Russian meteor blast's infrasound, or low-frequency sound waves. The sensors are part of the global network of 60 infrasound stations maintained by the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization

So if your dog or cat looked a bit strange on Friday, this might be why.

Meteor Blast "Heard" Half-Way Around the World.

It must have confused the hell out of elephants and pigeons.
