2 shooting stars just now - what's up?
Just walked my dogs in the freezing cold and saw two shooting stars. The second one lasted for over a second and changed colors (yellow to green!)

earthsky.org doesn't say anything...

Is this spy satellite debris raining down? :tinfoilhat:

1. It's the end time. Did you notice how quiet it was...?

That's cuz lots of folks have been raptured. In fact, AFAIK, it's just you and me left. And our dogs.

3. The disadvantage of working for a crazy lefty church...
I know none of my employers have been raptured. In fact, now I'll have to listen to 'em whine all the way through the tribulation. :scared:

6. neat site though I'm not sure I know what some of it means
I love those aurora borealis photos though! I've only seen it once in upstate NY. Lived in Canada for two summers, one of which was an extra-active year. Very cool.

8. Look at that!
Solar Wind at 587.5 km/sec and Proton density a comfortable 3.7 protons/cm3.

Sonds like a great day for a stroll!

11. An umbrella with a decent magnetic field should do the trick.

Something around 0.1 Teslas should work.



B-)
