Greenish meteor streaks through sky
By adamg on Tue, 11/03/2015 - 10:11pm
At 9:55 p.m., Alden reported a greenish meteor up above. Anybody else see it?
Interestingly, Noah Gray, a CNN reporter down in New York, reports he and everybody else on the rooftop he was on saw it.
Ed note: Green meteor? Let's hope we don't wake up tomorrow blind and chased by carnivorous plants. And, yes, I cannot help repeating that after every meteor sighting.

Aurora?
Supposed to be good viewing conditions for the northern lights tonight...
Actually, this aurora has been less pronounced than predicted
Yesterday people in Washington and Montana saw it, and tonight it is just possile that around midnight-1am you might see it if you are in a particularly dark area north of Boston. But overall, this current geomagnetic storm is not as dramatic as predicted.
Here's the site to go to for best info and pics for stuff like this:

The home page currently has a great pic of the aurora and a green Taurid fireball, btw!

Oh, how dearly I want to see this, some day. Pity that it always occurs late at night.....and usually in cold, dark, remote places. What's up with that? :)
It's probably a Taurid
According to people in the know, not only this meteor shower is here but the Aurora Borealis is visible from Massachusetts. I didn't go outside because I thought there would be too much light pollution and now I regret it.

That's OK Adam
I am a pod person.
Not tonight -
but saw one last night.
I've witnessed a few brilliant meteor showers in less
light-polluted areas, mainly the Perseids from rural areas of New Hampshire, and green meteors are pretty common. Still hoping to witness the sunset phenomenon known as the green ray.
That's the first thing I thought of:
The Day of the Triffids. Thank you for bringing it up. Even though we don't have triffids (yet), I would never watch a green meteor. What a great book.
