(meteorobs) Observing meteor from space
Hi all
I'm back to this list after 3 years (since 98 leonids, great
fireballs!). It's nice to be here once again.
I've been thinking if any of you have ever heard something about a
meteor observing program performed by the ISS crew (or Mir or Shuttle
crew) visually or by video. I think it's possible to get a nice wide
field view of the brighter meteors (how bright?) ocurring continuosly
all over the dark side of the earth. It would be great to view a leonid
meteor storm from up there, looking down instead of up. Too bad the
night be so short from low orbit, but always there's another in 45
minutes.
