Meteor Showers in Australia

phosphorescence? not that I've ever seen... in fact, outside of dreams and/or hallucinations, I've never heard of anything like it...

where is this magical place, andrea?

Oooooo

I just did a bit of a google on phosphorescent algae and found a cool pic of a whale with algae on it

speaking of whales... I've never seen one... in real life, like... I now think my 1st sighting should be phosphorescent... cheers, bass

andrea, I have seen that phosfluresence (?) and it is more amazing than well wow! lots of things. Sometimes you just see specks of it on the beach but once, it was totally mind blowing.

I was sitting one night on the deck of my Nana's house, which backs onto a big river mouth in NSW, and a small boat zoomed down the river. I was intrigued to see the wake was glowing green. I went the the water's edge and everything was twinkling. I put my hand in and stired it about - It was like fireworks in the water. The most beautiful thing! Then I splashed the surface, and everywhere the droplets fell, green light and sparkles radiated dramatically.

It is truely a rare and wonderful experience to see something like that. I havent researched it.. sometimes the Phosflurous is there, sometimes not. Some people say the moon has an effect on it. Should look it up

i saw phospherous shiney blueness when i was at our casino a while ago. we were spitting into the water to see the purdy shine on th ripples it made

Saw it down in Cork about 15 years ago, waves exploding with silent light as they crashed on the shore, skimmed stones leaving blasts of light in their wake....very nice...

anybody looked it up yet? ( me, lazy and tired) Wondering if it is going away, or how long it will be there?

Want to go back tonight or tomorrow, but dont want to get people excited and then find it has vanished!

Pogo, I am on an island off the west coast of Canada...
I have seen it elsewhere, Thailand, often, but never to this gorgeous extreme! And I had no idea it was like that here! Generally the ocean is freaking cold, so I rarely dive in in the middle of the night!

The glowing whale is beautiful...

sounds love-ly andrea... and without pulling out a map, relying only on my limited knowledge of geography, it also sounds rather... remote

need to find some local phosphorescence...

YEah we do have it Oz, I've seen waves lapping up to the beach with lacy light frills and swirls...

Yup yup!

Another meteor shower on THIS SAT, the 21st Oct.

Its a orionids one thing thing. Apparently look to the east, and the rest of the scribble in my diary umm runs off messily. Something about 12... like maybe "best after 12 midnight". umm. Go ch check it out, yo.

*bump*

sorry about the bumping... just trying to make sure people see this before the weekend and its already thursday....

can be seen all the way down here, miss?...

hmmm yep yep should do! I think its southern hemisphere specific. You'll probably have more luck than us, for its all stormy up here. Ahhhh Lou found the best fairy shop today! In Paddington...

Aww...cool...wish I could come see... ...meteor showers...faery shops and peoples...*going to go throw hissy fit now...so sorry...must be done!!!*

ahhhhh Bek, you must one day make it over.

Soooo, despite this thread being my little shooting star love-child... I totally forgot about the shower on Saturday Did anyone remember and can fill me in with a report?...

heh

*zap* Dammit!

*zap* DAMMIT!!!

Teleporter not working!!!

Here, try my astro travel warper contraption.... must warn you, I haven't used it in a while

I didnt even see the new \"stuff\" in this thread till now, cos I have been neglecting my HoP spammage responsibilities...

I know I should be punished for not being here, but you should send this stuff around on a mailing list, pip... ok, I would probably forget just like u did, but at least I would have had a shot at it!!

I cannot believe the faerie shop is still in paddington (assuming it is still the same one)... ok... now you would be wondering how I know there is a faerie shop in paddington...

*looks furtively around, hoping no-one notices*

there used to be a bagel shop right next door, but I think it is no more... I fresh bagels...

Ooohhh....Pat..Pat!!!!! Look at the cool flying machine-a-giggy!!! I want one!!!


Oh, and for not keeping up!!! Better?!

me too! is there space for me aboad that safe looking flying machine?

Abso-posi-lutely!!!

Crank it up and lets see which way the winds blowin.'

u think it will get me all the way across the pacific ocean? not doubting, just asking...?

Think it'd be FUN to try..... then if you crash there's always that whale to hitch a ride on!!!
