Some people are there to win, some are there to smash face, others are there to collect whatever free honor they can get without participating, and there are even a few bots. Wowwiki has helped me a lot, but the notion of caps, how to know when they have been hit, how to reach them and how to avoid wasting enchantments and buffs unnecessarily would be great

Meteorites injure hundreds in central Russia - BBC News
I looked out the window and saw a huge line of smoke, like you get from a plane but many times bigger." "A few minutes later the window suddenly came open and there was a huge explosion, followed by lots of little explosions."In Yekaterinburg, 36-year-old resident Viktor Prokofiev was driving to work when he witnessed the event. Chelyabinsk resident Sergei Serskov told BBC News the city had felt like a "war zone" for 20 to 30 minutes."I was in the office when suddenly I saw a really bright flash in the window in front of me," he said
Because of their angle of entry into the atmosphere, the Delta Aquarids tend to leave long lingering trails which sets them apart from most other meteors. Learn More Mystery in the Night Sky March 19, 2014 "This is so cool! I don't believe I have seen any satellites in HM (High Magnification view) that were put there on purpose
Possibly, though, the glory of seeing bright meteors shoot across and knowing that they were once small pebbles on another world might make it all worthwhile, even if your observing partner(s) could not share in every particular experience. Other meteor showers this year include the Perseids in mid-August and the Leonids in mid-November, both expected to also dodge the glare of a bright Moon in 2012
As an exciting twist, NASA hopes to add two new viewing dimensions to this year's Lyrids watching, producing a "3-D" experience both from the ground and above Earth. You can tell if a meteor belongs to a particular shower by tracing back its path to see if it originates near a specific point in the sky, called the radiant
Courtesy of MPAe, LindauView full size image History In ancient times, objects in the night sky conjured superstition and were associated with gods and religion. By then the first handful of asteroids had been discovered, and a new theory emerged suggesting meteorites were broken bits off asteroids or other planets
The Perseids, Wednesday 12th, and Thursday 13th August The Perseids are usually thought to be the best and most reliable shower of the year for northern observers, although it gets competition with the Geminids in December for the prize of best meteor shower of the year.

When: This year, peak viewing occurs on August 12-13, 2015 beginning at 9:30 PM ET on the 12th, and growing more spectacular after midnight and into the early morning hours until dawn
They are called Perseids since the radiant (the area of the sky where the meteors seem to originate) is located near the prominent constellation of Perseus the hero when at maximum activity. Therefore when the comet returns in 2031 and 2064, there will be no meteor storms, but perhaps several good displays of Leonid activity when rates are in excess of 100 per hour

APOD: 2012 August 14 - Perseid Meteors and the Milky Way Astronomy Picture of the Day Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. Six meteors from this past weekend are visible in the above stacked image composite, including one bright fireball streaking along the band of the background Milky Way Galaxy
Meteor Showers
Moral of that story is...stay awake while meteor observing during the winter, otherwise they may have to pick you up with ice tongs and thaw you out in the morning!! Enjoy the beauty of the heavens. Moon phases for 2015 Quadrantids January 2-4 Typically, 40 or so bright, blue and fast (25.5 miles per second) meteors will radiate from the constellation Bootes, some blazing more than halfway across the sky
Meteor Showers - when and where to see them
Meteors can be best seen away from city lights, on a new moon day.Since meteors seem to come from the constellation they are named after, meteor watchers should try and find the direction of the constellation in the sky and look there for meteors.July and August are some of the best months to observe meteor showers. This meteor shower occurs between April 16 to April 26th of every year and can seen from the Northern and Southern Hemisphere.Eta AquaridsThe next major meteor shower of year, the Eta Aquarids, occurs between late April and mid May, peaking around May 5-6

Although the Perseid meteor shower gives us one of the more reliable productions of the year, the ins and outs of any meteor shower cannot be known with absolute certainty. Watch for these meteors to streak the nighttime in front of the age-old, lore-laden constellations from late night until dawn as we approach the second weekend in August

Photographer Bryan Hansel recorded the phenomenon over rural Hovland, Minnesota: The green glow was barely visible to the naked eye, but a deep-sky exposure with Hansel's Nikon D800 digital camera captured it easily. This logistically complicated experiment is a pathfinder: It is teaching us how to build a whole network of launch sites to monitor Earth's atmosphere on continental scales
To assist observers, a set of charts showing the location for the ANT and any other nearby shower radiants is included here, to complement the numerical positions of Table 6, while comments on the ANT's location and likely activity are given in the quarterly summary notes. Weak video rates were claimed detected near the 2009 and 2010 repeat times, but again, no other method confirmed these, and the shower was not found by the full ten-year VID analysis
Everything you need to know: Draconid Meteor shower October 22, 2015 before dawn, the Orionids On a dark, moonless night, the Orionids exhibit a maximum of about 10 to 20 meteors per hour. Some who witnessed the 1966 Leonid meteor storm said they felt as if they needed to grip the ground, so strong was the impression of Earth plowing along through space, fording the meteoroid stream
