h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Is anyone planning to do a bit of meteor watching this weekend?

This will be the second year we've attempted to have a worldwide meteor watch here on h2g2 - the first year was a bust with most of the northern hemisphere socked in behind clouds.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A411111 will show you what I'm talking about and http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A612389 is where you can put the 2001 results if you're interested in taking part.

I think we're in store for some clear skies this time, only the last-quarter moon will be shining after midnight so really dim meteors will be lost in the moonshine (the light, not the booze! ).

If you're interested, I'll try to add you to the project pages in the very near future!

All the best!

We were rained out through Monday!
