AI Thread Summary
A meteor shower will occur in Kansas from 2:00 to 4:00 AM on Wednesday, visible from South Jersey, with predictions of 100 meteors per hour and minimal moonlight interference. Participants express excitement about watching the event, with one person humorously mentioning trying to catch a meteor on their tongue. NASA will provide a live camera feed from Huntsville, Alabama, although some participants feel this is not as engaging as watching it in person. There is a lighthearted exchange about the disappointment of missing the event, with one user noting they woke up too late at 4:30 AM.

From 2:00 until 4:00 Wednesday morning there will be a meteor shower in Kansas that will be visible from South Jersey. I will be out there watching Evo dodge the bigger ones. The prediction is for 100 meteors per hour and moonlight will not wash out the show.

I'm going to try to catch one on my tongue!
 
Definitely going to try to check this out. Still need to get up early for work, so I'm hoping I'll have some in between time, or just deal with it.
 
If I'm up at that hour, I will be in the bathroom. :redface:

Somehow that is just not the same :rolleyes:

You know Edward, there is just one thing better than watching this live feed and that's watching it on dial-up. :smile:
 
Disappointed that I was unable to catch it.
 
When I woke up it was already 4:30 AM bummer
