RE: (meteorobs) Is any interesting activity expected in the heavens this week?
Normally this is a rather slow time of the year meteorically. However,
during the last two years there has been some actiity reported from the
June Lyrids, so they are worth keeping an eye out for. The peak, if any,
should be on the 16th with a radiant at RA 278 (18h 31m) and Dec +35, or
about 3 degrees from Vega (in the direction of Sagittarius). In addition,
the Sagittarids produce a few meteors an hour from the area of Scorpio and
Sagittarius.
Regrading the Starshine satellite, it has been released, and can, in
theory be observed. Unfortunately, as I understand the info received so
far, it has turned out to be dimmer than expected, and is not spinning as
fast as expected which has led to a slower flash rate. I have looked for it
twice without any success, but they were all very low elevation, dim
passes. For info on the project see:
http://www.azinet.com/starshine/
For visibility predictions see:

Good Luck!

I am hoping that there is some meteor activiy worth looking at while the
moon
is new. Apart from sitting for hours hoping for some nice sporadic
activity
does anyone have any suggestions? What is the story with this new NASA
SUNBURST(?) satellite? Is it easily observed without assistance, if so
where
and when? Thanks in advance for any input.

BTW I noticed that there are some interesting impact related titles
available for bargain bin prices at the Barnes and Noble super store. I
picked up:
1. Fire on Earth (John & Mary Gribbin, 1996, St. Martins Press, NY) < $10
(hard cover)
2. COMETS Speculation and Discovery (Nigel Calder, 1994ed, Dover
publications, NY) < $10 (hard cover).
3. Rain of Iron and Ice (John S. Lewis, 1996, Helix Books) ~$5 (soft
cover),
<$10 (hardcover)
Popular press to some of you... perhaps entertaining enough for many
others.
I have found interesting and enlightening text in each of them.
