How, When and Where to Watch the Year's Best Cosmic Light Show
The Perseid meteor shower, one of the best shooting star displays of the year, is set to peak on August 12. It is expected to produce up to 150 meteors per hour and will be visible across the Northern Hemisphere.
The best time to watch the shower is late on August 12, or early the following morning. Stargazers hoping to watch the event should find an area away from light pollution and get settled in a comfortable position, allowing about half an hour for their eyes to acclimatize to the dark.
Alternatively, a live broadcast of the shower will be shown via the Slooh website on August 12 from 8 p.m. Eastern time. Astronomers will discuss the Perseids and answer questions about the meteor shower over the course of the evening.

Meteor showers take place when Earth passes through a comet’s debris trail. The tiny particles that are shed from the comet hit Earth’s atmosphere and are vaporized, creating bright streaks across the sky.
The Perseids is one of the more prolific meteor showers of the year, sometimes producing up to 200 meteors per hour. It is associated with the Swift-Tuttle comet, which astronomers discovered in 1862. Records of the meteor shower date back almost 2,000 years.

sorry guys, no pictures from my end due to heavy cloud cover...it was very frustrating...

mods should do the needful and put this on FP...

According to SPACE, a penumbral eclipse will begin at 9.22 p.m. on August 7 and end at 2.20 a.m. on August 8.
NEW DElhi: A partial lunar eclipse is set to occur on Monday night and, if skies clear up of the
monsoon clouds , it will be visible across the country.
The partial eclipse will begin at 10.55 p.m. on
August 7 and will last for about two hours.
"The maximum eclipse can be seen at 11.51 p.m.," said Science Popularisation Association of Communicators and Educators ( SPACE) -- New Delhi-based astronomy organisation -- in a statement.
"For those who follow Hindu traditions, the eclipse has mythological and religious significance. But yes, it's a celestial event, which can happen on any Full Moon whenever the
Earth moves in between the Moon and the Sun," said Mila Mitra, Scientific Officer at SPACE.
But, because of dark clouds, the eclipse would not be visible in the northern parts of India, particularly Delhi, SPACE said.
According to SPACE, a penumbral eclipse will begin at 9.22 p.m. on August 7 and end at 2.20 a.m. on August 8.
SPACE has organised a telescopic observation for the general public at Marina Beach, Chennai.
The total duration of the penumbral eclipse is five hours and one minute and that of the partial eclipse one hour and 55 minutes.
Observers in Africa, Asia and Australia will see the partial eclipse in its entirety.
The central part of the eclipse zone, where the Moon is at the meridian when the eclipse occurs, will be seen in Central Asia and India.
Lunar and Solar eclipses happen in pairs, with the lunar eclipse happening within two weeks of a solar eclipse .
The August 7 lunar eclipse is associated with the upcoming major August 21 solar eclipse.
A total penumbral eclipse is a lunar eclipse that occurs when the Moon becomes completely immersed in the penumbral cone of the Earth without touching the umbra.
It is a narrow path for the Moon to pass within the penumbra and outside the umbra. It can happen on the Earth's northern or southern penumbral edges.
Partial lunar eclipse, on the other hand, is when the Earth moves in between the Moon and the Sun but the three do not line up exactly. Only part of the Moon comes under the Earth's shadow, and looks darker.

gun men never spoke Igbo from witness account vanguard latest news

and the witness heard and understood the language the gunman or men spoke? over the din of gunshot and madness the witness heard them speak "Fulani or Hausa" ko?

na wa o! OP, what you wish for you will get and I believe you wish that there be confusion everywhere cos your kind thrive on confusion.
clearly you're trying to make your "sympathizers" feel you're all "victims" of the call against agitation.
if you're called to answer questions before a grand jury do you think your write up will hold water?
anyway here's a suggestion, form a quorum and send a letter to the UN and have them investigate the heinous crime independently and see.
then again I want to let you know that it's guys like you that stir up hatred and eventually genocide and clearly you're toeing the line of your "leader" KANU.
now, look at this: when the likes of Martin Luther King were agitating for civil rights in America he was nonviolent as well as well organized in his walk and talk. you could feel his fervour strength and passion. despite his being arrested brutalized and eventually shot he never made any hate speeches for any reason and encouraged the blacks to watch their tongues and actions. that's the mark of true leadership and power. now compare that with your "leader"....you be the judge and jury and you also be the victim bro....
see you when you've had goof thought.... oh! one thing, ..."in a situation of hostilities TRUTH is the first casualty... take note.

I have many threads on astronomy, go to the science section library and find them

https://www.nairaland.com/3004923/science-section-library

You may do well also and open yours, there are much to talk about on astronomy and science in general

great! but let's just maintain yours for unity and growth. will go there and contribute. thx.

hello Nairalanders
I notice there's no topics on astronomy here and I think there's a lot to learn from the cosmos to last a lifetime!
seriously, there's are news and info about the universe, space probes, planets stars, comets, and lots of other stuff to talk about.
for instance how many of us know that we can see the planets Saturn, Jupiter, Venus and Mars right now with our naked eyes? all you need is where to look and at what time at night.
let's find a thread for that on NL shall we? who's with me?

BETlordnowpsych:
i noticed i belong to no one here. There are friends clique here while some connect via facebook, bbm and whatsapp. No one has ever cared to connect with me. Is it because i don't have money, fine face or write sensible articles


I once heard skarlett ask jacksparrow1207 why he has been away on whatsapp. Lalas247 once sent a twerking video to a nairalander. Victornezzar once got PM from nma27 abi na mariinee. SInZ has been connecting with hot babes like berlynn, iamkashybaby (smellinganus bae) and so on.


I wonder why i am alone

you're not alone bro...hook up with me if your interests include astronomy, soccer, science , writing , history and general knowledge.
I don't enjoy lopsidedness, hatred, lack of vision, laziness and vices.

this is always the scenario when there's dissent! it's only just started, and I know IPOB will cry they're being lied against and massacred when things go wrong and will claim everyone is on their side when the authorities just watch them without making any arrests....time will tell, they're yet to understand that in the incidence of hostilities TRUTH is the first casualty:!
from hence, their ability and capacity to manage hostile situations will prove them as worthy of their cause! this is always the scenario when there's dissent! it's only just started, and I know IPOB will cry they're being lied against and massacred when things go wrong and will claim everyone is on their side when the authorities just watch them without making any arrests....time will tell, they're yet to understand that in the incidence of hostilities TRUTH is the first casualty:!

truthsayer009:
Mr OP, how come your neighbour is complaining to you about his wife? I smell something fishy !!!!

fried fish or smoked fish?
come on, hope you're not thinking what I think you shouldn't be thinking!
anyway much as I don't interfere in people's family issues, it's out of respect I guess as I'm older and I guess he felt the need to ask someone!

Trottle:
Those "smart" people are the most dumbest!! Yes!!!

So having children with different ladies, changing women like tissues, with kids growing in dysfunctional homes with low self-esteem is your definition of enlightenment?

Coming home to a cold house devoid of a spouse and kids, with your consolation being T.V, girlfriends, porn, parties and beer is your definition of advancement?

If you do not get married, you would still engage in acts that bear resemblance to marriage albeit unholy (baby mamaism, live-in girlfriends etc.)!

If getting married is your definition of being primitive, then I would prefer to be a bushman for life while you engage in your "advanced" living. SalmanRushdie indeed.

boy!! that was some rapid fire!!! and all shots hit bullseye! the holy book says "as a man thinketh , so is he..." as SalmanRushdie thinks, so he is!

bbsteve:
The only thing that will make a man be scared is just finance.

I beg to disagree. finance will always have a way in human life, whether married or single. fact is face reality, cut your cloth according to coat abi how them talk am self?
if you both are true to yourselves and agree, you will find happiness in the home whether the finances are enough , not enough or lacking completely. hard times never last and so do good times!!
I'm talking from experience bro!

ladies mostly, gents, I greet.
my neighbor complained bitterly that his wife usually ties wrapper around her chest once she's back from work and usually this is loosely done.
as she goes about her chores dutifully the wrapper keeps loosening and yes she struggles to keep it up but mostly her b..jobs get exposed and this sight is seen by the kids aged 14, 11, and 7.
at times she sits and carelessly leaves her legs open exposing her inner thighs and sometimes her pubic region can be seen. sometimes lying on the bed she spreads her legs and cares no less.
his advice goes ignored as she usually says she's in her own home and should therefore relax. my neighbor feels it's indecent.
can we say her behavior is OK? though I feel it isn't I need to hear from our ladies and gentlemen. thanks y'all.

I beg by next week I want to read on NL a story wit the title "my gf left me cos of my temper"
if I don't read a story like that then I know you will very soon write ( from the great beyond ) a story with title "I regret not following advice by NLers! now RIP to me"
das all ahaf to say...

doughziay:
One of the most difficult things about being in a relationship is realizing that two people are different from each other. No two people ever have the same needs, goals and desires. And sometimes these differences can cause lot of hurt, pain and misunderstanding. So, while you may not be the type of person to flirt with others, it is possible that your husband enjoys doing so and has little trouble lying about such matters.

The trick is to express your feelings in such a way that your husband can empathize with your point of view rather than turn away. If you can do this, it will make it easier for you and your husband to work through this issue. But, again this is not fair—it places a lot of responsibility on you to make things work.

Finally, it is normal to want to seek revenge by exposing the other woman. However, we strongly discourage you from doing so. If you act on your desire to get even by telling her husband or her employer, it will most likely will come back to haunt you in the long run. Your motives will be questioned, people will talk, and the story may actually get back to your husband’s work environment

very good.

paintworld:
be good to him for no reason... prepare his best meal... then let him realize how much u love him. Tell him to forgive you for anything you might have done wrong... if you have enough money, take him out to have nice time with him... Ask him if there is anything u r doing that he doesn't like and is there anything he'll like you to be doing... if he tells you, "change" and use the power of woman(crying) to tell him to pls not to cheat on you with any other lady. then see if there are changes.
.. Above all make plans to go and live with your husband...

great...good advice.

usually when you're far apart from your spouse, the man meets or is met by females and usually they strike a cord and a friendship of sorts begin. mostly you're unaware until you stumble on it via phone records or what's app like you did. now the situation changes for you like you just said.
men/women are easily drawn away by emotional attachment to guy/ ladies mingling around them that's a fact.
now since you can confirm you saw this on his phone and he's deleted it means a lot and you must act NOW but SENSIBLY not to put him under pressure to begin a backlash.
speak kindly and gently to him but firmly. take time to DISCUSS not CONFRONT him. tell him your expectations of him while he's away and your fears and I will advice that you don't tell him you saw anything yet unless it continue after you have discussed the first time.
one thing, don't show agony and desperation in front of him else you put yourself too much in the defensive.
that's all you do for now. remember don't say you ever looked into his phone just yet else you won't get the chance again for he will obviously password it. try to copy and keep the female's number and don't repeat don't call her yet...time will bring things to the fore...be patient. good luck.

I have this feelings that ur hubby too is a nairalander,always with his phone to see if there is any news about lala and snakes,tonto dike,hush puppi and gucci buhari and london....the list is endless

suggestion;wait fo the elders of nairaland to arrive first

very funny!!!
three days ago I couldn't log out of NL and was very busy with it! I was in bed and my wife really thought I was chatting up someone (a babe maybe, you know they always feel it's babes)
See wetin NL dey cause!!

Christians don't become atheists ...they just become disbelievers or backsliders. take note of the difference

sammykess:
You know quiet well churches are guided by laws, some are biblical and others are self driven...

see Rom14:23 says whatever is not of faith is sin...what does ROM 17:10 say? faith comes by hearing the word of God. that means any law made by any church that's not found in the Bible is wrong and only made to accommodate the desire of the founders of that church. that's the reason you hear pastors telling you God "told" them...you will be too scared to question that won't you? that's how they trap people! do a survey and see.

sammykess:
Nice One, I don't know if it's biblical, because they will tel you that you must follow biblical standards. It's like this, the pastor will confront the sister with a mask identify of the brother and see if God has reveal the name of the brother to the sister

I'm sorry but there's no place in the bible where law of marriage is given as doctrine ... God made it a cultural thing as long as it does not violate the standards of God. no pastor has right to tell you to follow any laid down principle or rules like you mentioned above. most people REVERENCE pastor more than God. have you checked your Bible to find out what God says about marriage abi you think your pastor knows better.
if you like her tell her straight if she likes you great...plan together then for courtesy's sake tell your pastor. if he gets annoyed that you should have told him before making a move then you know its out of selfish reasons he's doing so. he can't make law for God where God has not made any!

while other African players are struggling to be signed for high amounts and are being recognized for their abilities on the pitch most Nigerian players are "stars" on low leagues and are star bench warmers! they make headlines on papers only! Mo Salah Elneny and others are climbing...our players are showing off wealth and women! go ahead!

hmmm, sincerely I lagged in this are because I don't know who her friends just because am not always around but will work better on that area

you should then find time and let her invite her friends home so you can also know them. with time you will then use an opportunity to talk with them. don't form a habit of telling her "I don't want to see you with this or that girl" even if that girl "looks" or "behaves" wayward. you may just be the change agent for that girls life... I'm now talking from experience.

personal59:
hmmm, sincerely I lagged in this are because I don't know who her friends just because am not always around but will work better on that area

ok...
make time and ask here to invite her friends then have a great time with them.
even if any of her friends is "looking" wayward never condemn her or say "I don't want to see you wit that girl!" that girl may just be lacking in guidance and you might just be the one to be the change agent!
